What stops friction?
Sliding friction (aka dry kinetic friction) between 2 surfaces, is caused due to chemical bonding between the surfaces.
Why do slippery liquids reduce friction?
Friction is phenomenon you see between two rough surfaces. A slippery liquid or lubricants when applied, coats over these rough surfaces creating a layer of the lubricant itself. Liquids like lubricants has very low viscosity, that is the sliding friction between two liquid layers, hence they easily slip over each other. In this way they help reduce friction.
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
How could you reduce the friction between 2 surfaces?
One way is to put rubber bands on both of the surfaces
How can you reduce friction on surfaces?
Basically all you need to do is make the surfaces smoother. Depending on the material, this can be accomplished by sanding, painting, etc. Adding a lubricant such as oil, grease, water, etc. will also reduce the friction between two surfaces. Another thing that can be changed is the kind of friction. For example, rolling friction is generally less than sliding friction. Fluid friction is lesser still than rolling friction. Applications where friction is decreased for better working stuff are things such as: rollerblades, skate boards, air hockey tables, snow boards, and surf boards.
Does overpolishing of surfaces increase the friction between them?
No it does not. It will actually reduce the friction between them.

Why do slippery fluids such as oil reduce sliding friction?
We can reduce friction by oiling ("lubricating") the surfaces. This means that the surfaces no longer rub directly on each other, but slide past on a layer of oil. It's now much easier to move them.
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
What is role of ball bearing in bicycle?
To reduce friction between surfaces.
What do you call a substance that is put on surfaces to reduce the friction between a surface?
lubricant
What do you call a substance that is put on surface to reduce the friction between the surfaces?
lubricant

the correction option is true :)

What is lubericant?
substances when applied to a surfaces reduce the friction between surrfaces hopes this help;)
