Friction between skis and snow may be reduced by waxing the skis. Air friction is reduced by tucking the body into a streamlined position.

Why do you reduce friction in skiing?

Reducing friction in skiing helps to increase speed, improve control, and conserve energy. By minimizing resistance between the skis and the snow, skiers can glide more easily and navigate slopes more efficiently. This allows for a more enjoyable and smoother skiing experience.


Where is friction not useful and how to reduce it?

Friction is not useful to most athletes (i.e swimmers, skiers, etc.) and friction is caused by the little imperfections and textures of objects against each other. You can reduce it by smoothing down one of the surfaces; like putting a very fine, smooth surface, or fabric over the skin of a swimmer to reduce friction.


Some ways to reduce friction are by using or applying .?

A way to reduce friction is by using or applying a wax-based product to the surface that touches the ground. Snow skiers apply a wax to their skis. Another way of reducing friction is by designing an object that produces the least amount of air resistance, like a spoiler on a car.


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.


How do you reduce the friction and vice versa?

Reduce the friction . . .Apply lubricant to the surfaces in contact, or reduce the mutual pressure.Friction the reduce . . .The phrase has no physical significance.


You may have heard that old math teachers never die they just reduce to lowest termsto findout what happens to old lawyers and skiers?

Lawyers burn in paperwork and skiers turn into skiing chipmunks


What material can reduce friction?

Materials that can reduce friction include lubricants such as oil, grease, and wax, as well as low-friction materials like Teflon and graphite. Using smooth surfaces or adding ball bearings can also help reduce friction.
