### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Friction**: Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact.

This action generates a backward force on the ground. According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, when we push backward, the ground pushes us forward. 3. **Role of Friction**: As we push our foot backward, friction acts in the opposite direction (forward). This frictional force is what allows us to move forward. If there is enough friction, we can walk or hike without slipping. ...
