A dolphin's shape reduces the friction it encounters when swimming greatly, but it is still exposed to friction, and as a result will slow down if it stops swimming.

How does a Dolphin respire?
The dolphin respires from its lungs through the blowholes.
How does a dolphn breath?
how does a dolphin breath? A dolphin breathes through its gills.
What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?
Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.
Why is a dolphin a fish?
A dolphin is a mammal and not a fish.
If an object moves through the air what is the friction?
Fluid Friction .
Give an example of fluid friction?
A plane moving through air. Air is causing friction, A boat moving through water .Water causes friction.
What are Examples of fluid friction?
Examples of fluid friction are fish swimming through water, an airplane flying through the air and a motorboat skidding over water. Although fluid friction refers to friction through water, it can also apply to air.

What is dry friction what are the types of dry friction what is fluid friction what are the types of dynamic or kinetic friction?
Fluid friction is the friction that occurs when an object moves through a fluid or gas.
Why does a dolphin has a fin?
Its front fins are used to steer the dolphin through the water. The dorsel fin helps so the dolphin does not roll while swimming.
What is the reactive force when a fish swims through the water?
The reactive force would be gliding through the water.
How does the dolphin get around?
a dolphin gets around by using its tail and flippers to propel itself through the water.
