Well if you did not have friction you would fall over when you walked. Just think of what it is like trying to walk in ice (which has very low friction).
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What material can reduce friction?
Materials that can reduce friction include lubricants such as oil, grease, and wax, as well as low-friction materials like Teflon and graphite. Using smooth surfaces or adding ball bearings can also help reduce friction.
What simple machine reduces friction?
If I'm not mistaken, there is no machine that can reduce friction. The machine is intended to change the distance the input force is applied over or to multiply the output force. The moving parts of the machine will always increase friction. In order to reduce the extra friction (but not completely remove it), one would use a lubricant or reduce the roughness between two surfaces. Hope it helps.
Rolling friction always reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero?
Rolling friction does not reduce the net force acting against an object's motion to zero. Rolling friction is a resistive force that opposes the motion of an object moving along a surface, but it does not completely eliminate the net force. The net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on the object, including rolling friction.
Why is friction a bad thing?
Friction isn't always bad, but when engineers try to avoid or reduce friction, it is because of the energy lost due to friction.
Is it true that rolling friction always reduces the net force acting aginstan objects's motion to zero?
Friction can be reduced, but in most cases there is no practical way to reduce friction to zero.
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.
