Let us go for an answer that you may not have thought of shall we? If you were skating on ice and you built up speed then stopped skating, eventually you would stop. Why? because ice has friction though very little. This friction works on the friction on the blades of your skates bringing you to a stop.

Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.
Friction is independent of speed once an object is moving since faster does not mean more friction.
Rougher surface and more weight to the object increases friction

Friction createsheat when ittwo or more objects rub together. This also present in microwaves. Another effect of friction is that it slows down objects thathave friction applied with them.ADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONFriction plays a vital role in our daily life. Without friction we are handicap.1. It is becomes difficult to walk on a slippery road due to low friction.2. We can not fix nail in the wood or wall if there is no friction. It is friction which holds the nail.3. A horse can not pull a cart unless friction furnishes him a secure Foothold.DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTIONDespite the fact that the friction is very important in our daily life, it also has some disadvantages like:1. The main disadvantage of friction is that it produces heat in various parts of machines. In this way some useful energy is wasted as heat energy.2. Due to friction we have to exert more power in machines.3. It opposes the motion.4. Due to friction, noise is also produced in machines.5. Due to friction, engines of automobiles consume more fuel which is a money loss.
