Question
State three advantages of friction.
Answer
1. Enables one to walk: Friction between the soles of your shoes (or bare feet) and the ground is essential for walking.
2. Enables the car to stop when brakes' are applied: When you apply the brakes in a car, friction plays a crucial role in bringing the vehicle to a stop. The brake pads press against the brake discs or drums, creating frictional forces that slow down and stop the wheels.
3. Lighting fire-matchstick lights because of its friction with the rough surface
