Well friction is a force that acts between two surfaces in contact. Although it has unwanted effects like loss of energy or wear and tear, yet it is a very important force and is thus sometimes called 'the necessary evil'. At homes friction needs to be increased on stairs, floors, especially bathroom floors in order to prevent accidents due slipping or skidding. The greater friction between shoes/feet and the floor, the lesser is the chance of slipping. In bathrooms, water/soap on the floor may reduce friction drastically thus greatly increasing the chances of slipping.

What is an example of friction reducing the efficiency of a machine?

An example of friction reducing the efficiency of a machine is when two moving parts rub against each other, causing heat and wear. This can lead to energy loss and increased maintenance needs, decreasing the overall efficiency of the machine.
