What is friction reduction?
It means what how can the friction be reduced. To answer this question, Friction can be reduced by devices like ball bearings, wheels and lubricants.
What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
Why do wheels need ball bearings to reduce friction?
because there is grease between them......
How is friction small in the bottom bracket of a bike?
The bottom bracket where 3 frame arms meet is supplied with ball or roller bearings which are able to reduce friction very substantially. There are ball or roller bearings also in the gear changing mechanism, in the top and bottom of the "headstock", the front tube into which the handlebar fits, in the pedals, and in the hubs of both wheels.
Where can ball bearings be found?
If you need replacements, they can be bought at a hardware store. If you mean applications/uses ... bicycle wheels have ball bearings. Lots of rolling objects that move around an axle have either needle bearings or ball bearings or roller bearings.

What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
What are two means by which friction may be reduced?
Lubrication and ball bearings both reduce friction.
Type of friction that is reduced by wheels and ball bearing?
contact
Why do wheels need ball bearings to reduce friction?
because there is grease between them......
What kind of friction can help reduce friction?
I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
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 do you use ball bearings?
Because they're a good way to reduce friction and help wheels and axles to spin smoothly and effortlessly.
Do ball bearings increase or decrease friction?
Decrease friction .
What is the definition of bearing friction?
it is when friction occurs when moving parts have ball bearings.
How is friction reduced in a rolling bearing as compared to a plain bearing?
In case of rolling contact bearings there is either point contact or line contact between rolling elements and races of the bearing depending on whether it is ball bearing or roller bearing... In case of plain or journal bearings contact is generally area contact. Hence friction is reduced in rolling bearing as compared to a plain bearings.
What kind of Bearing is a ball or roller anti-friction or plain?
Anti-Friction. Plain bearings have surfaces that rub together, like sleeve bearings. In roller bearings and ball bearings, the surfaces roll and do not (that is, should not) slide. If they slide they destroy themselves quickly.
