Why is ice slippery?

>> No.6409940

>>6409931
because it has a high compressive strength to shear strength

>>6409931
It's not, have you ever walked on extremely cold ice. It's like concrete. Ice is slippery because of a liquid water layer that forms.

It's because it's slippery.

>> No.6409978

>>6409931
because the molecules at the surface are not fully attached and wiggle around like water / ice

When water freezes into ice, it traps static electricity under the surface, which is released when you walk on it. The soles of your shoes are rubber, which is non-conductive, sending the electricity horizontally away from the shoe, which drags you along with it.

False, the answer is that if you look at one moment in time, technically everything is at absolute zero because there is no movement. When your foot however makes contact with the surface of the ice, the collision creates heat at that moment on the surface while the next layer is still absolute zero. Because the warmer ice is trying to refreeze, the boot slips and loses traction since it isn't freezing with the surface ice

There's two reasons. One, because in your warm hand, the ice melts and there's water. Two, because when you step on ice, the ice liquifies because of the increase in density from your weight. Water is more dense than ice.

How cute and soft looking. I want to bash its head in gently, blow compressed air in under its eyelid to separate the skin and pull it through a hole I rip in its face. Nice soft fur your all mine now. I'm going to masturbate in it every day.

ohh wow. I just realized if someone stopped time they would freeze to death not only that but moving even a single molecule of air would be impossible because of e=mc^2

Also if you take an ice cube out of the fridge you can feel it dry and non-slippery for a few seconds.

That's because the moisture on your fingers is freezing to the ice
