Friction can be maximized or minimized in several ways depending on the material, device construction and purpose, for example:
Minimizing friction of a circling axis can be made by bearings, which usually have rolling balls. Rolling has usually less friction than sliding.
In slide systems, friction can be minimized in various ways such as:
- Polishing the surface of both sliding sides (the opposite will increase friction)
- Adding a liquid such as oil between them. Oil fills the micro gaps on the surfaces therefore creating a slippery surface
- Using certain techniques, e.g. air insulation, magnetic insulation

What game requires little or no friction?
Curling. A kettle is slid across the ice. Team members brush the ice in front of the kettle to minimize friction.
What are 5 types of friction?

When do participants in swmming maximize friction when do they minimize it?
you maximumize friction to train and when you compete you minimize it
How are you able to minimize or maximize friction?
You can minimise friction by Decreasing surface area, making area smoother, lubricating it(eg. car parts) and the opposite to maximise friction.
What is the opposite of minimize?

What does a title bar underscore do does it minimize or maximize or restore?
It's Minimizes/Maximizes the window.
When you maximize a window in access the maximize button changes to what minimize return original orrestore down?
When you maximize a window in Access, the minimize button changes to return original. You can use this button to make the window small again.
