Best Answer

When you drive a car and stop it is because of friction you stopped. If there was no friction your car won't stop and will slide. Friction also helps with waking, if there was no friction with every step you take you would slip. Friction lets your foot stay in one spot while you move the other foot. Ice has no friction so it is hard to walk on and hard to brake on (if driving a car.)

Friction is not useful in situations where smooth movement or sliding is required, such as in lubricated machinery or in sports like ice skating. Additionally, in situations where reducing wear and tear is important, such as in engine components, friction is detrimental.
