Answer:

The force of friction is a necessary force which helps us to walk on ground. The friction is generated between the shoes and the road. We press the ground and as a reaction the ground pushes us forward. The force of friction between sole and ground provides the necessary grip which pushes us forward

Friction can be a useful force because it prevents our shoes slipping on the pavement when we walk and stops car tyres skidding on the road. When you walk, friction is caused between the tread on shoes and the ground. This friction acts to grip the ground and prevent sliding. Sometimes we want to reduce friction.

You are given two unknown point charges, Q1, and Q2. At a point on the line joining them, one third of the way from Q1 to Q2 the
podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4
