A ladder is leaning against a wall if you were going to climb the ladder are you better off if there is no friction between the ladder and the wall or ladder and the floor?

No. if the floor is smooth you must have friction between the ladder and the floor, or the ladder would just slide away. Technically you could do without friction between wall and ladder, but even that can be helpful in preventing the ladder from going sideways.

Are there better way to solve problems between nations?
Yes. Personally, I believe that war is stupid. I mean why cant nations solve problems by playing a game of chess, or even basic communication! War shouldnt be the answer.
How does friction influence?
Friction is caused when objects or substances bump into each other. When you swim you create friction between you and the water which is called Fluid friction. Better yet look it up
Why do people wax their snowboards?
The wax protects the board against moisture and help reduce friction with the snow for a better ride.
How is static friction and rolling friction similar?
They are both forms of friction. rolling friction occurs because two objects are rubbing against each other. under a microscope you would see that the two objects have bumps and these bumps run into each other, causing both objects to change velocity. thus rolling friction resists the relative motion of two objects. however, static friction occurs when two objects are pressed against each other and they have the same velocity, the microscopic bumps have time to sink in to each otherand creates a better grip than rolling friction. thus static friction resists any relative motion between two objects and is the reason why pushing a car is sudenly easier when it has some motion.
What Has the greatest amount of friction between solid surfaces?
Solids that are actually glued, or better yet soldered, together.
When a cars tires are stuck in snow or mud is it better to have more less friction and why?
It is better to have less friction because it will be easier to get out.
Define sliding friction and rolling friction?
sliding friction is less than static friction. it is also very easy to move better than static friction.
How can you charge your mobile using friction?
Taking the battery out of the phone and rubbing it back and forth against cloth. Although, you would think it would be the static charge from the friction that could help the battery work but its actually the heat generated from the friction. Because phone batteries work better when they are warmed.
How shape of stone aggregate effect the concrete?
the general sense of friction can be used for answering this since angular particles have more friction in between them as compared to regular stone particles they hold together better
Why does oil make a bicycle work better?
Oil can reduce friction between moving parts, and protect exposed metals from rust.
What does political leaning mean?
Beggers are better than BJP in doing and earning.
What are the ways in which friction is reduce on aeroplane?
by giving it better aerodynamics you can reduce friction. but also the faster it goes the more friction it gets.
Why does a penguin have waxy feet?
It is to ensure more friction between the ice and the feet, or else a better grip, so that thw penguin will not slip and fall.
