We can decrease friction by lubrication - that is to say, we put in some slippery substance, usually oil - or by separating the two surfaces with something that rolls, ball bearings or wheels of some kind.

One way is that if rough surfaces produce greater friction than smooth surfaces. Friction also increases if the surfaces push hard against each other.
separate the two surface
Lubrication can be used and the surfaces should also be less bumpy or ragged and be able to easily slide over each other.

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.
How could you reduce the friction between 2 surfaces?
One way is to put rubber bands on both of the surfaces
How can you reduce friction between two surfaces?
1) using a lubricant film between moving parts. 2) using low friction materials, such as Teflon.3) reducing surface roughness.
What can reduce friction?
LubricantsWe can apply lubricants like oil or grease on the moving part of a machine to reduce friction. With less friction, machines can last longer.Rollers and wheelsRollers and wheels reduce friction between the surfaces of objects and the floor.

Does a smooth surface reduce friction?
There is more friction between the surfaces of 2 smooth surfaces than one smooth surface because there is more surface area.
When is friction a useful force that acts between objects?
Most forms of conventional movement require friction. For example, a car could not go anywhere if not for the the friction between the rubber tire and the road surface.

Does friction mean the same thing as shear?
No. Friction is a measurable force observed between two objects sliding/rolling along each others surface. Shear is the act of cutting. The process of friction could shear something. Think glaciers.
What two things could you do to increase the momentum of the ball?
Reduce friction or increase slope.
Does wax increase or decrease FRICTION?
Actually, waxing skis increases friction. Wax is not slippery. If you wanted less friction you could oil your skis.
Examples of when you want less friction?
If you were roller-skating you don't need friction because it slows you down. Well you want friction between the wheels and the floor (so you do not slip sideways) but not between the wheel and the axel (thats why you have ball bearings there to reduce rolling friction). If you are ice skating you do not want friction between the blade of your skates and the ice.
What could be wrong with your treadmill if it makes a grinding noise from the belt when you step on it but otherwise it is running fine?
It could be the new treadmill band whose surface is still textured. As time passes and it is used, the inner surface of the band will be polished and noise will be reduced. Of course provided that you use your silicon spray regularly to reduce the friction.
