Friction
You spill a bucket of soapy water on a marble floor accidently. Would it make easier or more difficult for you to walk on the floor? Why?
When soap water is spilled on the floor, the friction exerted by the floor is reduced. Hence, the feet will not get a proper grip on the floor and one tends to slip, making it difficult to walk.
