Question

why do sports persons wear spiked shoes? why do the need to reduce friction?

Answer 1

sportmen use shoes with spike to increase the friction between shoes & the surface. The shoes with spike do not slip while they sun or play

Answer 2

Hey mate!

Answer:

Friction is the force which opposes the motion of an object over a surface.

It is caused due to the irregularities between the two surfaces in contact. It depends on two factors:-

⇒It depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact. If the surface will be rough, the friction will be greater.

⇒It is proportional to the force pressing the surfaces together. It is also not dependent on the area of the contact.

Sports persons wear spiked shoes because the spiked shoes dig into the ground and offer a much greater frictional force. This digging of spiked shoes helps the sports person to increase the friction and have a better grip while running. They are able to run fast because of the better grip than the normal shoes provided by the spikes due to increased friction.

Hope it helps you!
