How is Friction Harmful?

Answer: Below is a list of friction’s negative impacts.

• Friction slows down and sometimes even halts the velocity of objects in motion.
• Heat is produced by friction between the items. The machines waste energy as a result of this.
• Because of friction, machine parts will deteriorate over time.
• Because the frictional force resists a body’s motion, more energy is needed to counteract it.
• Forest fires are caused by friction between tree branches and leaves.
• Unwanted noise is produced by friction between the machine’s components.
