Water does reduce friction, as the liquid essentially lubricates the surface between the two objects. However, this only applies to affecting other friction. It has its own friction when objects move through a body of water.

Can water be used to reduce friction?

yes.


How can you reduce friction in water?

To reduce friction in water, you can use substances like lubricants or oils to create a layer between the water and the surface experiencing friction. You can also streamline the object's shape to minimize resistance and turbulence as it moves through the water. Another option is to reduce the object's speed, as faster movement creates more friction.


More friction between water and streambed will reduce the speed of flowing water.?

true


How can you reduce the effect of friction on the motion of a body?

by applying water on the floor.


What liquids that reduce friction?

Some liquids that can reduce friction include oil, lubricants, and water-based solutions. These liquids help to create a layer between moving surfaces, reducing direct contact and minimizing friction.


How can you reduce the amount of friction on a slide?

You can reduce the amount of friction on a slide by using a smoother surface material, such as polished stainless steel or smooth plastic. Adding a water spray to the slide can also help reduce friction. Make sure the slide is clean and free from debris that can cause additional 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.


What stuff can reduce friction?

* lubricanting like oil, greese, etc. * by using ball bearing * polishing * stream lining Water can reduce friction. Also, round things like wheels and straws can reduce friction. Things that are placed on wheels, straws, pencils, etc. can move far with a soft push.


Material that is applied to reduce friction?

Oil (in car). Grease (in bearings). Silicon. Water.


Can be used to reduce friction?

Lubricant (Liquids, oils, grease, fats, water, graphite...)


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).
