The molecules of lubricants can slide over each other due to the weak attractions between them and hence they allow the machine parts to slide over each other smoothly reducing friction and damage.

What are used to reduce friction?
Lubricants.
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).
Why are lubricants added to drugs?
Lubricants can help reduce the friction between the surface of the tablet and the die cavity's wall. Examples of lubricants used in the pharmaceutical industry include magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, stearic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone 6000, and boric acid.
Why do wheel reduce the force of friction?
Wheels reduces the friction because to improve the speed of the machines. friction can be reduced with the help of the lubricants.
What is the name of liquids used to reduce friction?
Lubricants.
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
Can we reduce friction if possible suggest some methods?
That's what lubricants are for.
Name some ways to reduce friction?
lubricants - 10W30, WD40
How can you overcome friction?
You can't. You can reduce it with lubricants, polishing surfaces, & bearings.
Why are lubricants used on machinery?
Lubricants make the machines movement easier. they reduce the friction made by two moving parts so that they do not wear out quickly
How do you make friciton?
by eating pie
Substances used to reduce friction?
Lubricants are used to reduce friction, as well as grinding the surfaces in contact until they are very smooth.
