How can friction be reduced between two surfaces?
A lubricant such as oil, grease, graphite powder or PTFE can reduce the friction between two surfaces. Or using metal balls to space them and reduce the contact surface area as used in ball bearings.
How do you reduce the friction and vice versa?
Reduce the friction . . .Apply lubricant to the surfaces in contact, or reduce the mutual pressure.Friction the reduce . . .The phrase has no physical significance.
How does lubicus help to reduce friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by various means. Here are some:They form a layer between surfaces that are moving with respect to each other that keeps those surface from contacting each other. The lubricant keeps the surfaces apart.The lubricant washes away particles that might cause friction between the surfaces. It acts as as cleanser.Some lubricants harden the surfaces of the parts they are lubricating to make them less subject to wear.
How does lubricant reduce the force of friction between hinges in a door?
It reduces the coefficient of friction.
What is lubercant?
"Lubricant" is a generic term for a number of chemicals whose function is to reduce friction between two surfaces, and additionally may reduce or dissipate heat or clean the surface(s) in question.
What do you call a substance that is put on surfaces to reduce the friction between a surface?

What is a lubricant and what is its puropose?
A lubricant is any substance that may be introduced in a thin layer between two surfaces that are in relative motion to reduce the friction between them. Please see the link.

Are lubricants used to dampen rough surfaces?
Lubricant are not used to dampen rough surfaces. They are used to smoothen the surfaces. They reduce friction through the slippery lubricants on the surfaces.
Does overpolishing of surfaces increase the friction between them?
No it does not. It will actually reduce the friction between them.
How does lubricant reduce the force of friction between hinges in a door?
It reduces the coefficient of friction.
What is lubricant fluid?
A lubricant (sometimes referred to as "lube") is a substance (often a liquid) introduced between two moving surfaces to reduce the friction between them, improving efficiency and reducing wear. Lubricant Fluid may refer to : - Lubricating fluid used in cars. - Lubricant used in sexual behavior. - Synovial fluid : the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.

Why do slippery liquids reduce friction?
Friction is phenomenon you see between two rough surfaces. A slippery liquid or lubricants when applied, coats over these rough surfaces creating a layer of the lubricant itself. Liquids like lubricants has very low viscosity, that is the sliding friction between two liquid layers, hence they easily slip over each other. In this way they help reduce friction.
