Friction is really important when it comes to walking and driving, but it can also cause some problems.
1. Walking:
- If we don’t have enough friction, we might slip and fall very easily.
- On the flip side, if there’s too much friction, it can make it hard to move, which can tire us out.
2. Driving:
- Tires need friction to grip the road. If there's not enough, the car can skid and lose control.
- However, too much friction can wear out tires and make them heat up too much.
Solutions:
- Wearing the right shoes and having good road surfaces can help us walk better and stay safe.
- Keeping cars in good shape lets tires work well, helping to balance the effects of friction for safer and smoother driving.
