Best Answer

Friction can cause a lot of damage on rough surfaces. Friction also reduces the efficiency of mechanisms and releases heat that can damage parts, so we often want to minimize its effects by reducing the surface areas that are in contact or using a lubricant such as, oil, grease, and graphite.

friction helps us to make things firm and steady,so ther do not slip or slide so that is the other way how to reduce friction. dianne timtim,I-4 galilei,Ist year high school,baesa high school you can use lubricants.... -wEndy

What kinds of substance reduce friction?

Friction is the act of one surface rubbing against another. To reduce friction, use something that offers a small amount of friction. Smoother substances reduce friction. A way to reduce friction is to use something which offers a small amount of friction. For example, you could use something like plastic or glass. Water, most liquids and different types of oil reduce friction. Powder, oil and grease are used in between surfaces to also reduce friction.

Some ways to reduce friction are by using or applying .?

A way to reduce friction is by using or applying a wax-based product to the surface that touches the ground. Snow skiers apply a wax to their skis. Another way of reducing friction is by designing an object that produces the least amount of air resistance, like a spoiler on a car.


Can you think another way the Egyptians might have tried to reduce friction to move the heavy blocks?

They could have moved the block through water, which would be Fluid Friction, and makes it easier to move.
