We can reduce friction by oiling ("lubricating") the surfaces. This means that the surfaces no longer rub directly on each other, but slide past on a layer of oil. It's now much easier to move them.

What types of weather cause friction on surfaces to decrease?
Colder temperatures can cause friction on surfaces to decrease as it can make surfaces more smooth and slippery. Rain or wet conditions can also reduce friction due to the presence of moisture on the surface. Additionally, icy or frosty conditions can lead to a decrease in friction as the ice or frost can create a slippery surface.
How do planes reduce air resistance?
You can reduce the amount of friction by putting wheels on an object or by taking away all of the grip on the object. You can also make dure the groung is really slippery. You can by adding oil to make it slippery ths is done in most of the machines and gadgets that we use daily.friction will also be reduced if surface is smooth or slippery
Why does placing wheels under a heavy box reduce the necessary force require to push it along at a constant speed?
rolling friction is less than sliding friction for the equivalent normal force
What are the connective tissue sacs that reduce friction?
Bursae
What is used to reduce friction between membranes of the heart?
membrains
Do lubricants help to reduce friction?
Lubricating fluids have a sliding lattice structure which helps the atoms in the lattice to slide over each other and thus reduce the friction in the bodies in which they are applied. The relative sliding between the layers helps in lubrication.
What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.
Why do slippry fluids reduce sliding friction?
Because in a liquid, particles have greater kinetic energy than particles in a solid. So, there are weaker forces of attraction in the liquid between particles. As a result, particles can move past each other with ease. Fluids like the 'slippery' fluids are lubricants, and they come into contact as opposed to the surfaces of the solids.
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.
Lubricants do what to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
the correction option is true :)
How can the magnitude of friction be reduce?
Some ways to reduce the magnitude of friction are to use lubricants as they fill up in the irregularities and make the surface smoother, switch from sliding kinetic friction to rolling kinetic friction and by smooth surfaces that rub against each other.by polishing by streamlining in fluids . by ball bearing
Does inertia reduce sliding friction?
No, inertia and friction are completely separate and unrelated phenomena.
Do cleats reduce friction?
yes it can also reduce friction especially when its slippery, cleats reduce the surface area that are in contact between the shoes and the ground surface?
How can you reduce sliding friction between 2 surfaces?
oil it
What is Lubricants blank friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?
