I was wondering since when you walk you are pushing backwards, therefore frictions pushes you forwards, so when you fall on ice why do you feet slide forward? Or does that just depend on how you fall? Thanks!

When we fall on ice, the coefficient of friction between our body and the ice is significantly reduced. This means there is less resistance between our body and the surface of the ice, causing us to slide forward. Additionally, our body's weight and momentum also contribute to the sliding motion.
Yes, when we fall on ice, the surface is much smoother and harder than other surfaces. This means there is less friction between our body and the ice, resulting in a longer and more uncontrollable sliding motion.
Yes, the type of clothing we wear can affect how we slide on ice. Clothing with a smoother and more slippery surface, such as nylon, can reduce the friction between our body and the ice, causing us to slide further. On the other hand, clothing with a rougher and more textured surface, such as wool, can provide more traction and reduce sliding.
The distance we slide on ice can vary depending on several factors, such as our body weight, speed, and angle of impact. Heavier individuals will typically slide further due to their higher momentum, while lighter individuals may not slide as far. Additionally, the angle at which we fall can also impact how far we slide, as a more direct impact will result in a longer slide.
While we cannot completely prevent sliding on ice, there are some measures we can take to reduce our chances. Wearing shoes with good traction and gripping the surface with our hands can help provide more stability and prevent sliding. Additionally, walking slowly and cautiously on ice can also reduce the risk of falling and sliding.
