Explanation

• Wear and Tear is not an advantage of friction.
• It's a disadvantage, as friction causes wear and tear on surfaces.

Advantages of Friction:

• Walking: Friction between the soles of our shoes and the ground allows us to walk without slipping.
• Braking: Friction between the brake pads and the wheels allows vehicles to slow down and stop.
• Securing knots: Friction between the fibers of a rope helps keep knots tight and secure.
• Fasteners: Friction between threads in screws and bolts helps keep them in place and secure
