What does is mean to reduce something?
reduce something is to make the amount of something smaller. For example you can reduce your electric bill by unplugging the refrigerator.
Is to reduce by one tenth?
To reduce a number by 1/10, you could use it as a percentage 10%. Example 250 reduced by 1/10 = 250 x 10% = 25
The speed of ball increases as it rolls down an inclinem What happens to its speed on a smooth horizontal surface?
It's speed will reduce to to friction by gravity.
Why is it important to reduce coefficient in a balanced equation to the lowest possible whole number?
It is not always important. In chemistry, for example, you would never reduce C2H2 (acytelene) and C6H6 (benzene) to CH.
What is fractions that reduce to the same number?
They are equivalent fractions as for example 9/12 can be reduced to 3/4
What happens on density of gas if some particles are removed from it?
That depends on the experimental conditions.In a situation of constant pressure, the density will also be constant.In a situation of constant volume, reducing the amount of gas will reduce both pressure and density.
How does low air pressure in bicycle tires reduce the efficiency of the bicycle?
Flabby tyres produce more friction with the road.Less air pressure creates more surface friction, the less surface friction there is the better. (Example look at the very skinny narrow tyres on road racers as they don't need a lot of surface friction while mountain bikes have thick tyres as they need more friction)
How can you get water to boil at 50 degrees Celsius?
By decreasing the pressure or using impure water.
What is pressure gauge and how much pressure it can reduce?
A pressure gauge simply measures and visibly indicates pressure in a system . It does not reduce the pressure. For that you need a PRV (pressure reduction valve ).
How do the large feet of a polar bear act to reduce the pressure on ice?
it will spread it out across the large surface area therefore decreasing it. hope that helps! :)
Do cleats reduce friction?
yes it can also reduce friction especially when its slippery, cleats reduce the surface area that are in contact between the shoes and the ground surface?
How can you reduce friction of a surface?
By lubricating it or adding oil to the surface.
What types of materials are used to reduce surface tension?
Surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic molecules, are used to reduce surface tension.
What is sprayed on surface water to reduce evaporation?
An oil reduce evaporation.
How does straw function while drink?
When you 'suck' on a straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it. This means the air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw is greater - so it pushes down, which forces liquid up the straw into your mouth.

Reduce boiler pressure from 8kg to 6kg draw a schematic diagrame?
we can reduce boiler pressure from 8 kg to 6kg by providing pressure reducing valve that is PRV
