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.
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.
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 are four ways to increase the acceleration of an object?
Apply a larger force. Make the object less massive. Decrease air resistance acting on the object. Decrease the coefficients of friction by using a 'smooth' surface, where friction is negligible.
How can you decrease the magnitude of friction?
To decrease the magnitude of friction, you can apply a lubricant between the surfaces in contact, use smoother materials to reduce surface roughness, or apply a force to counteract the friction force. Reducing the normal force between the surfaces can also decrease friction.
