When there's no friction, movement becomes really interesting!
Think about a hockey puck sliding on ice. When the ice is smooth and there’s little friction, the puck moves easily and quickly.
In a world without friction:
Things Keep Moving: If something is moving, it will keep moving. This is because of Newton's First Law of Motion. It says that something won’t stop or change direction unless something else pushes or pulls it. Without friction, there is nothing to slow it down!
Speeding Up: If you push an object, it will keep speeding up in the direction you pushed it. For example, if you push a ball in space, it will keep rolling forever unless something else changes its path.
So, without friction, things move smoothly and predictably, just like a perfect ride on a roller coaster!
