Question

imagine that fri
ction has disappeared from the Earth what will happen ? explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

If there was no friction it would be impossible to move in any direction other than down.

Explanation:

Friction stops things from sliding apart. If there was no friction everything would slide to the lowest point. It would be impossible to climb up anything. Imagine trying to climb a wall of ice without crampons and an ice pick. It would be impossible.

From the human perspective, it would be impossible to stand up or even move. Simply crawling requires a force to make you move. That is provided by friction.

With no friction the only possible movement would be falling to a lower point under gravity.

Here's some point wise answer:

• Walking –It is impossible to walk on the ground without friction. Friction is what holds your shoe to the ground. The friction present on the ice is very little, this is the reason why it is hard to walk on the slippery surface of the ice.
• Writing – A frictional force is created when the tip of the pen comes in contact with the surface of the paper. Rolling friction is what comes into play while writing with a ballpoint pen while sliding friction arises when one writes with a pencil.
• Skating – A thin film of water under the blade is necessary to make the skate slide. The heat generated by the skate blade rubbing against the surface of ice causes some of the ice to melt right below the blade where the skater glides over the ice. This water acts as a lubricant reducing friction.
• Lighting a matchstick – When the head of the matchstick is rubbed against a rough surface, heat is generated and this heat converts red phosphorous to white phosphorous. White phosphorous is highly inflammable and the match stick ignites. Sometimes, matchsticks fail to ignite due to the presence of water. Water lowers friction.
• Driving of the vehicle on a surface- While driving a vehicle, the engine generates a force on the driving wheels. This force initiates the vehicle to move forwards. Friction is the force that opposes the tyre rubber from sliding on the road surface. This friction avoids skidding of vehicles.
