What is the purpose of making a hovercraft?
The purpose of making a hovercraft is to reduce the friction and drag that boats experience on the water. This makes the craft faster, more efficient, and more fun!
How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?
It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.
What uses a cushion of air to reduce friction?
A hovercraft use a cushion of air to reduce friction. In extreme engineering applications there are also air bearings, bearings where a steady flow of air acts as a lubricant between two very finely machined surfaces to keep them apart.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
How does the flow of air reduce friction of the hovercraft in motion?
How does the flow of air reduce friction of the hovercraft in motion?
Why is friction cut down in a hovercraft?
How is friction cut down in a hovercraft? This is done by hovering over the surface Why is friction cut down in a hovercraft? Because the surface of the hovercraft is smooth

How and why is friction cut down in a hovercraft?
Friction is cut down in a hovercraft by the large volume of air that blows out from under the skirt, making the skirt rise above the ground. In essence, the hovercraft is floating on a bubble of air, and has very little friction with respect to the ground.

Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Is hovercraft and a maglev train similar?
They are similar only in that they both aim to reduce the friction that come from the vehicle moving over the water or rails. The means is quite different. The hovercraft uses a cushion of air and the maglev uses the repulsive force of a magnetic field.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
What kind of friction can help reduce friction?
I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
