Limiting friction is the case of static friction where an object is right on the edge of moving, any more force applied to the object will cause it to move. Limiting friction is the largest value that the static friction can take

Is static friction the same as starting friction?

Yes, look at "what is static friction?" Static friction is also known as starting friction.

What are the examples of limiting friction?

If limiting friction is the same as static friction, then I have an answer, because static friction means that the objects in contact do not move. For example, if you place a box on the table, it does not move, as there is static friction between the box and the table.


Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?

Static friction


Is static friction or sliding friction stronger?

Static friction


How are static friction sliding friction and rolling friction the same?

They all create centrifical force on an object and create stops


What is more sliding friction or static friction?

static friction is higher in most cases, if you're talking about the coefficient of static or kinetic friction


What are the 2kinds of friction?

Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.


Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?

Usually static.


Does static friction or rolling friction causes a car tire to turn on the road?

static friction


Is the static friction is always zero?

Actually, the static friction is neverzero.


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.
