Ball bearings reduce friction in machinery by presenting a minimal surface area. This is because only very small areas of each ball are in contact with the surface. Therefore,the ball bearing is indeed a very useful thing for machinery to work.

Why are ball bearing used in wheels?
Machine parts use ball bearings to reduce friction, making it easier to move the moving parts and producing less wear on the parts.
Amount of friction depend on two thing?
The amount of friction between two surfaces depends on more than two things. It could depend on many things like The shared surafce area The amount of force between the objects How rough or somooth the surfaces are The presence of a lubricant or glue Ball bearings Even temperature. Many things affect the amount of friction between things
Describe three different ways to decrease the force of friction between two surfaces that are moving past each other?
Three ways to decrease the force of friction are- 1.)Polishing 2.)Lubrication 3.)Ball Bearings
In Which Of Of The Following Situations or places would you want to reduce the force of friction?
Skiing Axel on bike
What slows a soccer ball down after being kicked?
friction slows it down
What are two means by which friction may be reduced?
Lubrication and ball bearings both reduce friction.
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).
Three examples of where ball bearings are used to reduce friction?
in machineare parts
Why do wheels need ball bearings to reduce friction?
because there is grease between them......
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.
What is ball bearings?
it is a mechanical equipment to reduce friction. It is used in moving parts very often.
What friction is the type of friction produced by wheels or ball bearings?
the friction produced by objects such as wheels or ball bearings is called rolling friction
Why are ball bearing used in wheels?
Machine parts use ball bearings to reduce friction, making it easier to move the moving parts and producing less wear on the parts.
Do ball bearings increase or decrease friction?
Decrease friction .
How ball bearing reduce friction?
Bearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and outer metal surface for the balls to roll against. The smoothness of the metal reduces the friction and the surface area.
Why do you use ball bearings?
Because they're a good way to reduce friction and help wheels and axles to spin smoothly and effortlessly.
Why should you reduce friction?
Putting oil Use of ball roller bearings smoother surfaces
