What is lubricant for?

== == It is a substance, as oil or grease, that reduces friction when applied as a surface coating to moving or working parts of a mechanism.


What type of surface reduces friction?

speed


What is applied to reduce friction?

Lubricants are applied to reduce friction between surfaces in contact with each other. They help to minimize wear and heat generation by providing a smooth film that separates and reduces the resistance between moving parts.


When is static friction applied?

Static friction is not necessarily an applied force, but something that occurs when there is an applied force. Static friction occurs when there is no motion and there is a force being applied to an object on a surface.


Which surface has the lowest friction?

The surface that has the lowest friction is a wet surface, or a surface that has been oiled with light oil, or the air cushion underneath a hovercraft. Then there is the train that runs on magnetic rails, hovering above the rails without physically touching.


What force is applied a surface by another?

It is friction force


How does airtrack reduce friction?

Airtrack reduces friction by creating a cushion of air that separates the object from the surface it is moving on. This cushion of air effectively reduces the contact area between the object and the surface, minimizing friction and allowing for smoother movement.


What is substance applied to a surface to reduce friction called?

A substance applied to a surface to reduce friction is called a lubricant. Lubricants help to reduce the friction between two surfaces in contact, allowing them to move more smoothly against each other.


Why do friction is high in very smooth surfsces?

i honestly didnt get ur ans but ill still try to help u out.. friction is the opposing force to a motion, when the surface is very smooth friction reduces.. i.e the smoother the surface the less the friction.. for eg.. if u spill oil on the road the car starts slipping and becomes hard to stop it i.e bcos the surface becms smoother and reduces friction..


What is the friction that hinders a stationary object from moving on a surface when a force is applied to that object?

Static friction. The frictional force is greater then the force applied, meaning the object can't move.


What keeps an object at rest from movingn on a surface when a force is applied to the object?

Friction.


How ball bearing reduce friction?

Bearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls to roll against. The smoothness of the metal reduces the friction and the surface area.
