Question

Give three ways of reducing friction

Answer 1

Answer:

move in opposite direction

plane your shoes

Explanation:

because moving opposite direction friction is reduced

Answer 2

Explanation:

Making surface highly smooth will increase the friction, as large number of bonds will form then.

Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother. A lubricant is a slippery substance designed to reduce the friction between surfaces.

Make the object more streamlined. A streamline shape is one that allows air or water to flow around it easily, offering the least resistance.

Reduce the Normal force acting between the surfaces in contact. The stronger the Normal force acting on the surfaces, the higher the friction.

Reduce the contact between the surfaces, so that less number of bonds will be formed. Spheres are the best shape for reducing friction because very little of a spherical object is in contact with the other surface.
