No; that doesn't make much sense since it would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy.

What friction is used when an object sits still?

Static friction resists an object from moving when at rest (still) with respect to the surface it is resting on or in contact with. Kinetic friction, or dynamic friction, (normally what we think of when we say 'friction') describes the friction that occurs when one body moves relative to another body and when both bodies are in contact with each other.


What is static electricity and why is this name used?

Static electricity is when a group of atoms form together. When friction happens atoms create a negative charge and a shock is formed.


What are different forms of friction?

Static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is the force that stops a mass from sliding and sliding friction is the force that slows down an object that is already sliding. Static friction is stronger than sliding friction, and this difference is reflected in different coefficients of friction for sliding and static friction for a given surface.
