Question

which example would most likely decrease friction? using cleats, rather than gym shoes, on a field using shaving cream, rather than shaving on dry skin using a wide parachute, rather than a narrow parachute, when skydiving using sandpaper, rather than regular paper, on wood

Explanation:

Friction is reduced by using a lubricant. Shaving cream acts as a lubricant between the razor and the skin, decreasing the friction compared to shaving on dry skin. Cleats increase friction on a field, a wider parachute affects air - resistance not friction directly, and sandpaper increases friction on wood.

Answer:

using shaving cream, rather than shaving on dry skin
