In which of the following situations or places would you want to reduce the force of friction?
I A. Skiing down a hill during a race.
B. Walking down a steep hill.
C. Sitting in the bed of a pickup truck while it turns a corner
D. In the axle of the wheels while you ride your bicycle.

D

Explanation:

The correct answer would be in the axle of the wheels while you ride your bicycle.

Options A, B, and C requires that the forces of friction is increased in order to have more control.

However, option D requires that there is a minimal frictional force in the axle of the wheels of a bicycle while riding so that a little effort would be required to keep the bicycle moving.

The lesser the friction, the lower the effort that would be needed to keep the bicycle moving and vice versa.

a.metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.d.only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

d.wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current.
