You can reduce the amount of friction by putting wheels on an object or by taking away all of the grip on the object. You can also make dure the groung is really slippery. You can by adding oil to make it slippery ths is done in most of the machines and gadgets that we use daily.friction will also be reduced if surface is smooth or slippery

What does air to air combat refer to?
Air to air combat refers to an air battle between two or more planes. The main aim is for one plane to destroy one or more enemy planes to win a battle.
How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
How is friction and air resistance different?
yes it is a big diff in both of them air resistanceis in water butfrictionis every where
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
Can airplane be static in air?
Theoretically, yes. The force in which balances gravity and keeps the plane in air is produced by the relative speed between the air and the plane's wings. When the air is still, the plane has to move (fast!), relative to the air. If the planes is to be static, then the air has to move: really fast. However, winds of such strengths are rather unlikely concerning passanger jets and large planes. For small (model planes, etc), it is hightly possible.
Why do planes have pointed fronts?
To reduce air resistance.
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
Can planes be perpendicular to each other?
no planes are not perpendicular to each other because for air resistance the planes are designed in a such way that air is avoided to back side and they are inclined to each other.
Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
Why are some vehicles streamlined?
To reduce air resistance or drag.
Why are cars designed with smooth surfaces?
to reduce air resistance
Why is air resistance bad?
Air resistance is neither good nor bad, it is simply a factor. Air resistance costs us in terms of performance, a car with high wind resistance gets lower mileage than one with less; but without air resistance planes would not fly at all.

What affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
How do we reduce the effects of air resistance on a vehicle?
By giving it a streamlined shape.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
