Q3:


Advantages of friction Disadvantages of friction
1. Help us write This leads to wastage of energy
2. Help us wal Friction produces heat which reduces the efficiency of machines.
3. Allows vehicles to move on the road. leads to wear and tear of machine parts
4. Enables us to light a matchstick Drag slows down the speed of the object.
5. Can write on a blackboard with a cheque. Soles of shoes wear down due to friction.
6. Enables us to write down on a page using a pen or pencil. Due to friction, the engines of automobiles consume more fuel, hence increasing costs.
