Friction is important for all sports.
Without it it becomes really hard to accelerate or deaccelerate.
For example a 100m sprinter.
It would be great for him if there wasnt any air resistance (as long as he can breath).
But he needs friction on the floor to push himself forward.
however friction is less useful in hockey, skiing, and almost all types of boarding(Snowboarding, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, sandboarding).

Which are the sports in which friction is not useful?
There is not a sport in which friction is not useful. In hockey, for example, there seems to be no need for friction. However, in order to get moving or stand at all, the players rely of the friction between their skates and the ice. The friction between their skates and the ice also creates a thin layer of water while they skate, allowing them to glide over the ice. even chess relies on friction so the pieces do not move off the board.
Is friction useful?
yes friction is very useful because it help objects not to slide or slip
Is one way that friction is useful?
stopping cars Friction is useful to start a fire with sticks.
What three ways can friction be useful?
friction is useful for: you to walk It is needed for braking Can be used to produce heat
When is high friction useful?
High friction is useful for lots of things, like a goalkeeper's glove. The more friction there is between the glove and the ball, the easier it is to get a hold of it.
What 3 sports are friction useful and not useful for?
Friction is helpful for these sports:FootballJavelinWeight liftingFriction is not helpful for these sports:SkiingDiving
Why is friction not as useful in some winter sports?
Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice. That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.
Describe 3 examples where low friction is not useful?
Friction is very useful but it has its own disadvantages. Friction causes wear and tear. Friction spoils the soles of our shoes. friction reduces speed This is all wrong some not useful types of friction are are when airplanes fly the friction causes heat that materials that will withstand which are costly.

Does brakes on a bicycle have a lot of friction or not much and is it useful or not useful?
Brakes are meant to have a lot of friction and it's useful.

Is friction useful with computers?
No Friction Runes Computers
Why is friction un-useful in sports?
Friction is sometimes not useful as when a player drives forward in a wet condition the ball slows down due to the friction so it is harder to control and difficult to get a shot away. Also a player can lose momentum during fast strides or slip in wet conditions. The ball will slow down because of the friction with the grass so it is easier for the goalkeeper to save it.
When can friction not be useful in a boat?
the friction from pushing the hull through the water is not useful as long as you're travelling.

When is a high friction useful?
It can be useful when a ball is catching
