Why are bearings used in bicycles?

To reduce unwanted friction.


Where can friction can be both useful and unwanted?

Friction can be useful in car brakes to slow down or stop a vehicle safely. On the other hand, friction can be unwanted between moving parts in machinery, as it can cause wear and reduce efficiency.


When is friction unusfel?

Friction is useful in situations where we need to create traction or grip, such as when walking or driving. However, friction can be unwanted in scenarios where we are trying to reduce energy loss, such as in mechanical systems like engines where friction can lead to inefficiencies.


How might the unwanted energy be produced by the hinges og a squeaky door?

Unwanted energy in the form of noise is produced by friction at the hinges of a squeaky door when the metal components rub against each other during movement. This friction generates vibrations that propagate as sound waves, resulting in the squeaking noise that we hear. Lubricating the hinges can help reduce this unwanted energy by minimizing friction and the resulting noise.


What will oiling the chain of a bicycle do?

Make it glide more smoothly and keep rust off of the chain and gears the chain touches.to reduce wear and unwanted friction


What would happen if there was more friction?

If friction is more it leads to unwanted things


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).


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.


What are the factors that reduce in case of friction?

the factors that reduce in case of friction are the velocity and acceleration.


What are the ways in which friction is reduce on aeroplane?

by giving it better aerodynamics you can reduce friction. but also the faster it goes the more friction it gets.
