If you are asking about the aluminum strip just underneath the armour, it is for sheath bonding as it has a shorter distance from end to end than that of the spiral that makes up the armour covering.

What color is the grounding wire in armored cable?
In older types of armored cable a aluminum strip was used as a bonding medium. This strip was wound back over the outside of the sheath and the connector on the end of the cable was used to secure it. Test were made to see how much short circuit current could be handled by this type of installation and it failed usually by burning open and leaving no ground at all. Now all armored cable has a separate, usually bare copper wire, embedded in with the current carrying conductors. This ground wire is now terminated onto a lug found in the junction box or on the device the cable is connected to.
What is the bare copper conductor found in non metallic - sheathed cable?
The bare copper conductor found in non metallic sheathed cable is the ground wire. On a wire count in a cable set the ground wire is never counted even though it is always there.

The colours will be, black, white and a bare copper ground.
What is bare nuclei?
if an atom is deprived of all its extra nuclear electrons orbiting around the nucleus then it is referred as bare nucleus. from google
What are the cons of aluminum siding?
Aluminum siding would be slightly noisier. Some of the cons of aluminum siding include scratching and denting. Aluminum siding is easy to scratch, which reveals the bare aluminum beneath the surface. It is also easily dented by small objects such as stones or hail.

The wire conductor colors in a non metallic sheathed cable are black, red, white, and a bare copper.
What are the ways of decreasing friction?
You can stand on bare ground tile or any other conductors (water, aluminum, etc.)
