Disadvantages

of Friction

1.Friction Wears Away the soles

of Our Shoes

When we walk on the road, tiny surfaces

of the shoe keep on breaking off slowly
due to which the soles of our shoes wear
out slowly
Due to which shoes get damaged and
becomes unfit to wear.

2.Tyres of Vehicles Wear

out Gradually Due to
Friction

Like the shoe tiny particles of tyres also

breakdown due to friction when they run
on road.
The same thing also happens with the
bicycles

3.Friction wears Out the

Brake Pads of Vehicles
Gradually

Brake pad is made of rubber

When the brakes of the vehicles are
applied a lot of friction is produced
Friction wears out the brake pads
gradually

Before -
