The children at a local park think the slide is to slow. there is to much friction. what could you do to decrease the amount of friction on the slide. itz science

In order to decrease the friction on the slide,

we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously

dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes

down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,

every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air

through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist

of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on

the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes

the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week

to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps

the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job

keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder

at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can

borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and

return them when he's ready to go home from the park.
