A day without friction would be like a day in space... but with gravity.

One might fall out of bed... or more likely the covers would just slide off, but one's weight would create a valley in bed that would be very difficult to get out of, because if one moved, one would just roll. Perhaps one could use the hill/valley gradients on the bed to move enough to get out of bed.

If one managed to get out of bed, then one would likely fall flat on the floor. Without friction, it would be very difficult to stand or balance... like on a skating rink, but worse. And, you couldn't grab onto anything either. One would have to depend on pushing off of solid surfaces... but not something freestanding or say the bed might go flying across the room.

Skating into the bathroom would be challenging, and one would have to push off of things to change direction.

One should probably plan on sliding down the stairs.

You might be able to cradle a bowl in your hands to carry it. Holding the spoon would be more of a challenge. A cylindrical glass would be difficult to hold onto because it would just slide out of one's hand. And, certainly wouldn't stay put on the table. A "footed glass" might give an area that one could grip.

Better leave the car at home... it would be essentially useless with no traction, and very dangerous without brakes.

Walking to school would be like skating... except on a super-slick surface. Hopefully the trip is downhill or level, as the uphills, even slight inclinations would be very challenging.

One would certainly expect chairs to be sliding everywhere... kids falling out of chairs, and books and pencils sliding off of surfaces and falling to the floor... then sliding around the room like a pin-ball machine.

One could tie stuff down, but even many clasps require friction. Although a belt buckle uses pressure and a mechanical lever. Weight could certainly be used to one's advantage too.

Anyway, the day would continue to be chaotic. Everything important would have to be secured down with some mechanical method, and one would be re-learning how to do do seemingly ordinary tasks like walking.

What is situation without friction good or bad?

For us, it would probably be bad. Without friction, it would be nearly impossible to get around. imagine walking around on ice all day, but worse.

What is use of examples?

hi there! not sure what you mean by "useful friction" but I'm guessing that you're asking "what examples are there where friction is useful" A simple example is that of sandpaper. Where you need to smoothen something and using a smooth (ie frictionless sandpaper) would be useless. A more day to day example would include the friction between your shoes and the ground without which you would be unable to walk with (like skating on ice). In fact, friction is required for you to grab anything (even a book which would slip off your fingers without friction). As for an explicit use of friction there's "Friction Welding" where mechanical friction is used to weld metal together. An article may be found on our friend Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_welding How this helps anybody reading! Cheers!

Is it true that the day care providers drug the kids to put them to sleep?

It would be illegal to drug the kids in a day care to put them to sleep. If this practice was used and discovered the day care would lose their license and be prosecuted by the law.
