What simple machine reduces friction?
If I'm not mistaken, there is no machine that can reduce friction. The machine is intended to change the distance the input force is applied over or to multiply the output force. The moving parts of the machine will always increase friction. In order to reduce the extra friction (but not completely remove it), one would use a lubricant or reduce the roughness between two surfaces. Hope it helps.
How does between machine parts reduce friction?
some use magnets others use lubricants such as oil and grease
How does friction impact the amount of mechanical energy produced by a machine?
Friction in a machine can reduce the mechanical energy produced by increasing the amount of energy lost as heat. Friction between moving parts causes resistance, which converts some of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. Minimizing friction through lubrication and proper maintenance can help increase the efficiency of a machine and maximize the amount of mechanical energy it produces.
How does friction reduce the efficiency of machines?
Friction is cased by parts of the machine rubbing past one another. When this happens the parts tend to stick to each other which slows down the machine and heats up the parts. Thus the energy used to drive the machine is diverted from the purpose for which the machine was constructed and the machine becomes less efficient. To reduce friction and make the machine more efficient, lubricants (eg oil) are used to make sure that parts that come into contact can slide past one another more easily. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friction causes machines to slow down, and heat up. effecting efficiency negatively first off excess causes a decrease in speed increase in wear on parts. Also friction causes heat which causes metals to expand. For optimal mechanical efficiency, friction is the enemy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friction decreases efficiency. This is because when there is friction, heat is created. Therefore some energy is lost in the form of heat.
Examples of friction as a foe?
wear and tear the machine parts
What machine parts are used to reduce friction?
I think it would a lubricant not a part...
Why oil and grease is applied between different parts of machine?
Oil and grease can reduce the amount of friction, making it easier for parts to slide against one another, and reducing the amount of heat produced.
What are disadvantages of heat produced by friction in machines?
energy used for the machine will get lost as heat .machine parts will get worn out.
Why are ball bearing used in wheels?
Machine parts use ball bearings to reduce friction, making it easier to move the moving parts and producing less wear on the parts.

Why machines are applied with grease?
It's to reduce friction (and thus heat) generated while the machine's parts are moving.

Why is grease used in machine?
Grease and oil is used in machinery to prevent the moving parts from wearing out too soon due to friction.

Why is it important to reduce friction on moving parts of machinery?
Friction creates heat. Heat could melt machine parts if it becomes too high. That's why many machines use lubricants while they're drilling or shaping metal.
What happens to a machine when it has too much friction?
The excess friction will cause the moving parts to heat up - even to becoming red hot! A cooling system: water, fans and radiator, or lubricating oil, is used to reduce the friction and so lessen the wear and tear on the moving parts.
