It depends on what you are referring to. Generally some ways of reducing friction are by using smoother surfaces, using fluids with lower viscosities, using grease or any lubricant, using rollers/wheels, using ball bearings, and with objects like cars and planes- these are usually made with streamlined shapes.

What are the 4 ways to decrease friction?

The four ways to decrease friction are: lubrication (using substances like oil or grease to reduce friction), using smoother surfaces, reducing the weight pressing the surfaces together, and using ball bearings or rollers to replace sliding friction with rolling friction.


What two ways can you change friction?

You can increase friction by increasing the roughness of a surface or by increasing the force pushing the surfaces together. You can decrease friction by using lubricants or reducing the contact area between the surfaces.


What ways can you increase the acceleration of an object?

You can increase the acceleration of an object by applying a greater force to it, reducing its mass, or reducing the friction acting on it. Increasing the slope of the surface it is moving on can also increase its acceleration.


Give the ways of increasing and reducing friction?

Ways to increase friction include using rough surfaces, increasing the weight of an object, and using materials with high coefficients of friction. Ways to reduce friction include using lubricants, smoothing surfaces, and using ball bearings or wheels to reduce direct contact between surfaces.


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

Some ways to reduce friction include using lubricants such as oil or grease, utilizing ball bearings or roller bearings, and ensuring that surfaces are kept clean and smooth. Additionally, reducing the weight or pressure on surfaces in contact can help reduce friction.

How friction related to swimming?

Friction is related to swimming because the water is constantly working against the force of the swimmer and therefore reducing their speed and acceleration. If there was no friction then many of the world's physics would be completely different.

What are 3 ways in which friction is bad?

Friction causes wear and tear on surfaces, leading to deterioration and reduced longevity of materials. Friction can generate heat, which could cause damage or malfunction in machinery or equipment. Friction can impede motion, reducing efficiency and increasing energy consumption in mechanical systems.
