That's what lubricants are for.

Is it possible to completely get rid of friction?

No, it is not possible to completely get rid of friction. Friction is a fundamental force that occurs whenever two surfaces come into contact with each other. While methods can be used to reduce friction, it cannot be completely eliminated.


Methods to reduce friction?

There are two most widely used methods to reduce friction__Using lubricants.Converting Sliding Friction into Rolling Friction


Can you reduce friction to zero?

It is not possible to reduce friction to zero due to factors such as surface roughness and intermolecular interactions. However, certain methods like using lubricants or smooth surfaces can help minimize friction to a very low level.


How can you reduce friction on a screw?

There are several methods that you can use to reduce friction a screw. The guide collar of the screwdriver should be in an angular position in relation to the screw. This will ensure that the screw goes in a linear motion and reduces friction.


What are two ways you can reduce friction in a machine?

A lubricant such as oil and ball bearings are just (2) methods of reducing friction.


Is it possible to design a track and the cart never stops in terms of energy?

Not quite. If you manage to significantly reduce friction, it can go on for a very long time, but it is not possible to absolutely eliminate friction.


What are three method to reduce the friction between two surfaces?

Three methods to reduce friction between two surfaces are using lubricants like oil or grease to create a slippery layer between the surfaces, using ball bearings or rollers to reduce direct contact, and using smooth materials or coatings on the surfaces to minimize friction.


Do wheels reduce friction?

yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce


How can you make a pendulum swing without stopping Is it possible?

Every time the pendulum swings back and forth, some energy is lost to friction. Friction with air, and friction in the supporting string or whatever. If you manage to reduce this friction (for example, reduce air friction by making the pendulum swing in a vacuum), it will swing longer. However, you won't be able to reduce energy losses completely; it may swing longer, but not forever.


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 does a bit of oil reduce in science?

Oil is used to reduce friction.
