Lubricants
We 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 wheels
Rollers and wheels reduce friction between the surfaces of objects and the floor. This enables us to move heavy objects with ease.
Smoothing and lubrication.
there are various methods to reduce friction, like:
1. Polishing the surfaces
2. Adding lubricants
3. increasing the temperature
4. wetting the surface
5. removing impurities, etc. :)
one way to reduce friction is by using oil or grease this makes it smoother and reduces friction
nothing prtroleum
If you put something on wheels it reduces friction. Also if you lubricate a surface the friction will also be reduced.
this i dont know
You can reduce friction by:
Adding oil Friction can be reduced by using smooth surfaces, or by lubrication. Things like oil or grease are lubricants, and help things to move past each other easily. You can reduce friction by putting the object on wheels. Also, in machines, you could oil the parts.
ANSWER IT
In which of the following situations or places would you want to reduce the force of friction? A.You are sitting on a park bench.B.You drive your boat through waves.C.Your bedroom door squeaks when you open or close it.D.You are running around a track.
THE ANSWER IS B&C ------- APEX (:
it ca be reduce by oil
1. using grease or any other lubricant 2. using smoother surfaces 3. using fluids of lower viscosity (measure of resistance to flow) 4.Use rollers, wheels or ball bearings and 5.Objects like cars and planes are modelled with streamlined shapes.
Lubricate or reduce contact between moving parts (e.g. magnetic levitation).

grease
sand
Don't really know five off the top of my head, but some easy ones are lubricant, soap, polish, and wax, most of these will fill the tiny holes on the surface and make it more smooth.
Hope this helps!

_To reduce friction by making the surface smooth..
1> add some lubricant in between the surfaces .
2> smoothen the surfaces to a limit .if u smoothen it more then friction will increase .
You can reduce friction in a mechanical system by using a lubricant, or by polishing the surfaces that come into contact.
As rolling friction is comparatively very low we use ball bearings. Best lubricants could be used to reduce the friction to a greater extent.
The following methods are used to reduce friction
Appropriate values for the surface energies of the parts reduce friction (for example Teflon and steel)
(note that if the surfaces are VERY smooth (we are talking about optical smoothness now) there will be no room for air or lubricants between the surfaces and they can become very difficult to separate!)

Using lubricants such as oil or grease, polishing surfaces to make them smoother, and using ball bearings or rollers can help reduce friction between surfaces. Additionally, reducing the load or pressure on the surfaces in contact can also minimize friction.
You can reduce friction in a mechanical system by using a lubricant, or by polishing the surfaces that come into contact.
Reduce the friction . . .Apply lubricant to the surfaces in contact, or reduce the mutual pressure.Friction the reduce . . .The phrase has no physical significance.
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.
Examples of substances that can reduce friction include lubricants such as oil and grease, as well as graphite and silicone-based products. These substances help to create a film or layer between surfaces that allows them to slide past each other more easily, reducing friction and preventing wear.
To reduce friction, you can use lubricants to create a smooth surface between objects in contact. To increase friction, you can increase the force pushing the objects together or use materials with rough surfaces that grip each other more firmly.
Lubrication: Applying a lubricant such as oil or grease between surfaces to reduce friction. Smoothing: Ensuring that the surfaces in contact are flat and smooth to minimize friction. Using ball bearings or rollers: Introducing rotating elements like ball bearings or rollers to reduce friction between moving parts.
