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.
What is one way you can reduce friction?
You can reduce friction by using lubrication, like grease for bearing, sewing machine oil etc.
Why it is important for you to reduce friction on compound machine?
Because too much friction can damage the simple machines that make up the compound machine.
What are two ways you can reduce friction in a machine?
A lubricant such as oil and ball bearings are just (2) methods of reducing friction.
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.

What happens to things when you reduce friction?
The things will slide
What machine parts are used to reduce friction?
I think it would a lubricant not a part...

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.
Why does friction reduce the mechanical advantage in machines?
Because some energy is expended in overcoming the friction and not applied to performing the task which the machine is meant to do.

Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
Does friction reduce efficiency of a machine?
When a machine is running at 100 % efficiency there is no loss of energy anywhere. That means the machine is running silently and if turned off will continue to run without stopping. In the real world there is sound and there is friction. Both sound and friction are examples of less than perfect efficiency
