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?
Most skiers wax their skis for this purpose.
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.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.

What two forces slows down skiers when going down a hill?
Friction and air resistance
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to 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).
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 are the factors that reduce in case of friction?
the factors that reduce in case of friction are the velocity and acceleration.
What does a bit of oil reduce in science?
Oil is used to reduce friction.
