Oil and grease can reduce the amount of friction, making it easier for parts to slide against one another, and reducing the amount of heat produced.

Why machines are applied with grease?

It's to reduce friction (and thus heat) generated while the machine's parts are moving.


Does grease on machine parts create more or less friction?

Grease on machine parts reduces friction by providing a lubricating layer between moving surfaces. This helps to prevent wear and heat generation, allowing parts to move more smoothly.


How can you use grease in a sentence?

Grease can be used as a noun (the object 'grease'), or as a verb (the act of applying grease to something). For example:'He applied grease to the pan to prevent food from sticking to it.''He was sure to grease the pan to prevent food from sticking to it.'

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.


How do you get grease off of a jacket?

Depends if the jacket is machine washable. If it is, try Dawn dishwashing soap. It cuts grease. Let sit on stain for about 1/2 hour and then machine wash it on hot.


What are three common lubricants?

The 3 common lubricants are grease, oil and wax. They are used to decrease the friction between touching forces. For example, in trumpet slides, slide grease is applied once in a while on the slides to make the slide easier to pull in and out.


Why in grease spot test the filter paper became translucent?

In the grease spot test, the filter paper becomes translucent when a grease spot is applied because the grease dissolves and spreads through the paper fibers. This causes the paper to become more transparent as the grease fills the spaces between the fibers, allowing more light to pass through.
