How does lubricant reduce the force of friction between hinges in a door?
It reduces the coefficient of friction.
What does reduce the force of friction mean?
it means enabling a substance to move more frequently on a surface a friction is a force which resists the movement of an object
Does it take the same amount of force to start something as it does to keep it moving?
No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it. To keep it moving requires zero force. If there is no opposing friction force, it will continue moving forever. If you can significantly reduce the friction, a small force can keep an object moving - just enough to counteract the force of friction.No. It takes a force to put something in motion, and it takes force to stop it.

Can you reduce friction to zero?
by polishing we can,t but making the gravitational force acting on a body we can as friction is a contact force and if no gravity there is not a perfect contact of surfaces of 2 bodies
What simple machine reduces friction?
If I'm not mistaken, there is no machine that can reduce friction. The machine is intended to change the distance the input force is applied over or to multiply the output force. The moving parts of the machine will always increase friction. In order to reduce the extra friction (but not completely remove it), one would use a lubricant or reduce the roughness between two surfaces. Hope it helps.
What problem did the wheel and axle solve?
To reduce friction
What is the direction of the force of friction on wheel of bicycle?
the direction of force of friction provided from earth is in its opposite direction.i.e the wheel and frictional force are both opposite to each other
How does lubricant reduce the force of friction between hinges in a door?
It reduces the coefficient of friction.
What force is used to slow down a bike?
strength New: The force of friction. When you apply the brakes, they grip the wheel, creating friction, which slows down the spinning.

Why on wheel we don't used oil to reduce friction?
because if you put oil on the wheel it would be slipping when we are driving
Is this true or false the handlebar of a bicycle is an example of using a wheel and axle to reduce the amount of force a rider needs to turn the front wheel?
Something is a bit confused here.The handlebars are levers that are used to turn the front wheel. It would be much more difficult to steer the bicycle just using the fork steering tube.The front axle and bearings essentially reduce the friction verses, say sliding/dragging the front wheel forward.High quality bearings, bearing races, and grease reduce the rotational friction and thus reduce the amount of energy required to turn the front wheel.
When maglev train is lifted which force reduce?
Friction. Oonce the train is clear of the track, there is no friction to slow it down.

What force do skin tight ski pants reduce?
air drag
What are wheel bearings and what do they do?
Wheel bearings are small metal rods or balls that are placed between the inside of a wheel and it's axle, in order to reduce friction.
