Question

Science selectan, five sports of your choice
What role does friction play in those
sports?
Collect and
and paste some pictures of those
sports in action where friction is either supporting
t' or opposing it​

Answer 1

Answer:

Supporting friction:

1) Cycling - the friction between the tires and the road are necessary for the bike to function

2) Running - the friction between the athlete's feet and the ground surface is necessary otherwise the runner would fall over

3) Swimming - the friction in the water is required for the swimmer to be propelled forward

Opposing friction

1) Swimming - the friction makes it more difficult for the swimmer to swim very fast

2) Bobsleigh - the aim is to go as fast as possible but the friction between the bottom of the sleigh and the ice slows it down

3) Diving - the friction between the diver and the water creates wasted Kinetic energy and sound energy whereas the aim is to be as streamlined as possible.
