The are that the surface is touching is using enegry and is thus lost on the ex. wheels or axel instead of used to go foward.
Lubrication and/or bearings, of various types, were the new techniques adopted by human beings to reduce energy loss due to friction.
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
Depending on the context depends on the reason. The usual reason is usually to reduce the amount of energy something needs to move.
Friction requires energy to overcome it. This causes loss of energy in the system. Loss of energy in a system, by definition, is a reduction of efficiency.
Friction isn't always bad, but when engineers try to avoid or reduce friction, it is because of the energy lost due to friction.
Friction reduce the velocity, hence, it affect kinetic energy. The potential energy from static pressure is then drawn to maintain the velocity (transformation of potential -> kinetic energy). We then see the friction reduce the static pressure but actually, it affect kinetic first.

Every time the pendulum swings back and forth, some energy is lost to friction. Friction with air, and friction in the supporting string or whatever. If you manage to reduce this friction (for example, reduce air friction by making the pendulum swing in a vacuum), it will swing longer. However, you won't be able to reduce energy losses completely; it may swing longer, but not forever.
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Friction has two unpleasant effects: 1) it increases wear and tear, 2) it wastes energy.
Because some energy is expended in overcoming the friction and not applied to performing the task which the machine is meant to do.

Give it more energy or reduce the friction between the object and anything with which it is in contact.
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
