Imagine that friction suddenly vanishes. How would life be affected? List ten such situations.
Imagine that friction suddenly vanishes. How would life be affected? List ten such situations.
Friction is called a necessary evil for human beings. It is useful as well as harmful for us. There are so many things that are not possible without friction.
If friction vanishes:
1. Any time you apply brakes of the car, there would be no effect on the car, since brake cannot be applied without friction.
2. We would not be able to walk properly.
3. We would not be able to hold things properly.
4. We will not able to write properly, the pencil will slip off the page.
5. Moving things cannot be stopped without friction (because no resistance).
6. We would not be able to play games.
7. Matchsticks wouldn't work.
8. In a frictionless world Shoes would not wear down.
9. Knives would be less effective.
10 We would not be able to eat.
