Where ? - Not on the floor when you're trying to walk. Or in your brake pads.

You seek to reduce it only where it converts otherwise useful (or desired) work into heat.

Does friction decrease or increase?

Wax, due to it filling the pores that cause friction will reduce friction.


How can you decrease magnitude of friction?

you don't.


How can you decrease the magnitude of friction?

To decrease the magnitude of friction, you can apply a lubricant between the surfaces in contact, use smoother materials to reduce surface roughness, or apply a force to counteract the friction force. Reducing the normal force between the surfaces can also decrease friction.


When does friction decrease?

Friction will decrease if the coefficient of friction decreases. This can be caused by having a smother surface up to a point. (When two surface are TOO smooth the friction actually increases due to molecular attraction.)


Does rain or snow decrease friction?

Yes.

Does lubrication increase friction?

lubrication decreases friction unless you're lubricating with sandpaper.


How do we decrease friction in machines?

To decrease friction in machines, you can use lubricants like oil or grease on moving parts. You can also make sure that the surfaces in contact are smooth and well-maintained. Additionally, reducing the pressure or load on the parts can help decrease friction.
