Q. How do the Ball-bearings reduce the friction?
Answer: Reducing the area of contact with the use of metallic balls
Notes: Bearings reduce the friction of certain moving parts by replacing sliding friction with rolling friction. They are used to provide better linear motion or rotation around a fixed axis. Roller bearings are typically cylinders similar to free rollers, while ball bearings are spheres that are held in a track.
