Study Notes

Friction Reduction Methods

Sprinkling boric acid powder on a carrom board reduces friction by providing a smooth, lubricating surface for the pieces to move on.
Polishing two objects in contact helps reduce friction by removing surface roughness and allowing them to slide smoothly against each other.
Ball bearings are used in machines to reduce friction by providing a smooth, rolling motion instead of sliding friction.
Ball bearings and rollers are effective in reducing friction because they minimize the contact area and allow for easy rolling motion, reducing the force required to move objects.
Powders, such as boric acid, sprinkled on a surface reduce friction by providing a layer of lubrication, allowing objects to move smoothly with less resistance.
