Ball bearings are used in bicycles, cars, etc., because
Detailed Explanation:
Ball bearings reduce the effective area of contact between the wheel and axle, replacing sliding friction with rolling friction.
Reduced contact area means lower friction and higher efficiency, as rolling balls have a much lower coefficient of friction than flat surfaces sliding against each other.
