The correct answer is decrease.

In which sports do athletes shave parts of their bodies or wear clothing that reduces fluid friction?

I am currently learning this in school; they can change amounts of friction by changing the surface. What I mean is, for skiers, put wax on their skis to decrease friction between them and the snow. Hope this helped!


What can friction do?

Friction acts to inhibit or "decrease" motion. Friction applies to any moving object, and will always act to slow it down or resist a change in its direction of motion.


What two ways can you change friction?

Lubrication, is one way.Two ways to reduce friction are :.Lose weight.Wet the surface


If friction isn't dependent on surface area but only on the coefficient of friction between two surfaces and the reaction force then why do racing cars use bigger tires with greater area?

Friction doesnt not depend on the surface area...but the force of friction does! We cannot change the friction of a material but we can change the force due to that friction on another material in contact with it. Using this concept, racing cars have bigger tires to minimise the force of friction acting on them. They cannot change the friction of the road, so they change the resultant force on the tires.


How can you increase the force of friction of object without changing the surface that you are sliding the object on?

You can change the surface of the object itself


What is the effect of decreasing the surface area of the block in contact with the table on the coefficient of kinetic friction?

there is no change.the coefficient of friction is independent of surface area.the matter will change only if normal reaction changes


Does wind speed change with altitude in a hurricane?

Yes. Friction tends to slow the wind near the surface.


How does frictional force vary with change in roughness of the surfaces?

More friction is produced on a hard surface than on a smooth surface it takes more force and brute strength to push something heavy on a rough surface, because it falls in the cracks. On a smooth surface you are just sliding across a surface.


What change would cause a decrease in the amount of isolation absorbed at Earth surface?

increased dust in the atmosphere


How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?

It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
