Explain how friction can be minimized.

उत्तर
- Using lubricants:
- A substance, which reduces the frictional force, is called a lubricant. Example: Grease, coconut oil, graphite, castor oil, etc.
- The lubricants fill up the gaps in the irregular surfaces between the bodies in contact. This provides a smooth layer thus preventing direct contact between their rough surfaces.
- Using ball bearing:
Since the rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction, sliding is replaced by rolling with the usage of ball bearings. We can see lead shots in the bearing of a cycle hub.

How can sliding friction be changed into rolling friction easily?
Assertion: Friction always opposes the motion.
Reason: Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.
Assertion: There is a danger of a vehicle skidding on a wet road.
Reason: The tires of the vehicle lose their grip on the road due to an increase in friction due to the presence of water on the road.
