Yes, waxing skis is an example of intentionally increasing friction. The wax creates a rough surface on the ski base that interacts with the snow, providing more grip and control when skiing downhill.
Using sandpaper to increase friction on a slippery surface, such as on the bottom of shoes for better grip.
assuming that you're asking a multiple choice question, waxing skis reduces friction so that you can move faster on the snow. grease and oil are used as lubricants. they reduce friction in most instances. throwing sand on an icy driveway would increase friction between a cars tires and the ice. a good rule of thumb is that most liquids work as lubricants, most gritty or solid stuff works to increase friction, and powder can do either.
Polishing helps to smooth out any rough surfaces or imperfections on the object, reducing friction by making the surface more uniform. Waxing adds a layer of protection that acts as a barrier between the object and the surface it comes into contact with, further reducing friction. Both processes together make the surface slicker and more resistant to abrasion, lowering friction overall.
Skiers reduce friction by waxing the base of their skis, which helps them glide more smoothly over the snow. Additionally, skiers can also adjust their body position and movements to minimize resistance and increase speed. Also, using properly maintained equipment and choosing the right wax for the snow conditions can help reduce friction.
Wax generally decreases friction as it acts as a lubricant between surfaces. When applied to surfaces like skis or snowboards, wax reduces friction between the equipment and the snow, allowing for smoother and faster movement.

waxing is growing and waning is decreasing
the wheels, ya.
yes
Getting larger is WAXING. Getting smaller is WANING..
When the visible bright part of the Moon is increasing in size, the term "waxing" is used. When the visible part of the Moon is less and less illuminated each night, the term "waning" applies.
waxing
Waxing is to get bigger and waning is to get smaller.
It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.
The moon is waxing from the new moon to the full moon and waning from the full moon to the new moon. Remember this: when the right is bright it's waxing and when the left is bright it is waning
It is said to be waning, and waxing when the moon's light is increasing.
