Friction is the force that one surface exerts on another when they rub together. Friction works in the direction opposite to the motion, causing the object to slow down. What is one way you could reduce the friction between two surfaces?

• Carpet the surfaces.

• Put oil on the surfaces.

• 
  Put sand on the surfaces.

• Allow one of the surfaces to rust.
