Question

WORTH 60 POINTS

What would help slow down or maybe even stop friction?

Answer 1

"There are several ways to reduce friction: The use of bearing surfaces that are themselves sacrificial, such as low shear materials, of which lead/copper journal bearings are an example. Replace sliding friction with rolling element friction, such as with the use of rolling element bearings."

I hope this helps, if I doesn't let me know and I'll see if I can change my answer to answer your question better. :)

Answer 2

You can smoothen the surface on where the object travels, make the object more streamlined or reduce forces acting on the surface.
There are many more ways...these are just few of them. Hope this helps
