Well if you did not have friction you would fall over when you walked. Just think of what it is like trying to walk in ice (which has very low friction).

Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
Rolling friction always reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero?
Yes, rolling friction always reduces the net force to zero.
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
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.
Why is friction a bad thing?
Friction isn't always bad, but when engineers try to avoid or reduce friction, it is because of the energy lost due to friction.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
Rolling friction always reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero?
Yes, rolling friction always reduces the net force to zero.
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.
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce

What kind of friction can help reduce friction?
I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
How does oil reduce air friction?
Oil is mainly used to reduce friction between contacting surface, e.g., metal on metal - not to reduce air friction.
What are the factors that reduce in case of friction?
the factors that reduce in case of friction are the velocity and acceleration.
What does a bit of oil reduce in science?
Oil is used to reduce friction.
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.
