What kinds of substance reduce friction?

Friction is the act of one surface rubbing against another. To reduce friction, use something that offers a small amount of friction. Smoother substances reduce friction. A way to reduce friction is to use something which offers a small amount of friction. For example, you could use something like plastic or glass. Water, most liquids and different types of oil reduce friction. Powder, oil and grease are used in between surfaces to also reduce friction.


Is friction always something we want reduce?

NO!You very much need to increase friction between car tires and the road surface in winter. Accumulated snow and ice can already reduce friction there to the point that stopping and steering the car becomes impossible leading to many severe and occasionally fatal accidents.Vehicle brakes also need as much friction as possible to efficiently stop the vehicle when needed.Sandpaper and other abrasives depend on friction to smooth and clean surfaces.etc.


Why do people sometime want to reduce friction?

People want to reduce friction to make objects move more easily, to save energy, and to prevent wear and tear on surfaces. Friction can slow down movement and create heat, so reducing it can improve efficiency and increase the lifespan of materials.


How can you reduce the amount of friction on moving parts?

You can reduce friction on moving parts by using lubricants such as oils or grease to create a slippery layer between the surfaces. Proper maintenance and alignment of the parts can also help reduce friction. Using materials with lower coefficient of friction or adding bearings and bushings can further minimize friction.


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.

Is friction something you want to reduce?

no, actually many inventions or things work on the basis of friction for example a pen it works on the basis of friction.Anything that would once be in motion would never stop.

How do cyclists reduce friction in the velodrome?

Professional bike riders want to reduce friction, because friction is a force of two objects rubbing up against each other, therefore slowing you down.

Proper maintenance and alignment of the parts can also help reduce friction. Using materials with lower coefficient of friction or adding bearings and bushings can further minimize friction.


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.
