A way to reduce friction?
Smoothen the surface that's causing the friction. :)
What is an example of reducing friction?
One way to reduce friction is to use a lubricant.
What is one way you can reduce friction?
You can reduce friction by using lubrication, like grease for bearing, sewing machine oil etc.
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.
Is putting sand on ice a way to reduce friction?
Nope. It increasing friction so it is easier to pass icy roads
What are ways to over come friction?
The best way to overcome friction is with lubrication. With friction loss due to aero-dynamics or hydraulics you need to reduce drag.retold by Matt Isagan)

Can you stop friction?
You can reduce it to a point it is not noticeable but can not eliminate it altogether. You can reduce friction through use of materials with lower coefficient of friction like PTFE or by changing the way the materials contact, say change a sliding one to a rotating one.
How can the efficiency of an inclined plane be increased?
Efficiency is the ratio of power output to power input. It is not the ratio of forces or distances. You can move a load using less force by reducing the gradient of the plane. But what you gain in reduced force you lose in having to travel a greater distance to raise the load through the same height. There is, therefore, no net advantage. The only way to increase the efficiency is to reduce the friction. This can be done by lubricating the plane, or load (or both), or by placing rollers between the load and the plane - so that there is rolling friction rather than sliding friction.
How can you build a sled that goes further?
One way would be to reduce the friction factor.
Is it true that rolling friction always reduces the net force acting aginstan objects's motion to zero?
Friction can be reduced, but in most cases there is no practical way to reduce friction to zero.
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.
How can you decrase friction?
Depends what you want to increase/decrease friction on. If is like a weight on the floor.. Then to increase the friction all you have to do is increase the weight, To reduce it you either reduce the weight or get a smoother surface, or maybe a cloth in-between the floor and the weight.
