What are four ways to increase the acceleration of an object?

Apply a larger force. Make the object less massive. Decrease air resistance acting on the object. Decrease the coefficients of friction by using a 'smooth' surface, where friction is negligible.


Does adding wheels to a heavy object increase or decrease friction?

In order to decrease the friction an object experiences you can either change the surface it sits on or you can its weight.?

The correct answer is decrease.


Does magnetism affects friction?

Yes, magnetism is a force. Any force applied to an object will either increase or decrease the friction between that object and an adjacent surface.


How does friction affect interia?

Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.


What can friction do?

Friction acts to inhibit or "decrease" motion. Friction applies to any moving object, and will always act to slow it down or resist a change in its direction of motion.


Do ball bearings increase or decrease friction?

Decrease friction .


In order to decrease the friction an object experiences you can either change the surface it sits on or can blank Its weight?

Reduce


How do skaters decrease sliding friction?

by using a lubricant to decrease the friction.


Does friction cause the average speed of a marble on a floor to decrease?

Yes, because of rolling friction which is a type of friction that any rolling object experiences. This friction adds resistance to roll which will slow the marble and eventually stop.


Does friction increase as speed decrease?

Relative to its surface, friction is constant (this is known as the friction constant). The speed is decreasing on an object because friction is acting on it over a period of time, not because friction is getting stronger.


Name two ways you could reduce friction?

Polish the interacting surfaces or decrease the normal force acting on the moving object.
