Friction is the resistance to movement of an object pressing/resting/moving on a surface. It's not intuitively obvious but the standing still friction and moving friction are different.
Assume you have a block of wood resting on a tabletop. The amount of force required to make the block begin to move (static friction) is greater than the force required to keep it moving (kinetic friction) after it has begun to move.

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.
How is static friction and kinetic friction differ from each other?
They are different because static means "not in motion" and kinetic means "in motion". Kinetic friction means friction that is moving and static friction means friction that is not moving.
Which form of friction is harder to overcome static or kinetic?
The static coef. of friction is greater than the kinetic coef. of friction.
When a body slides over a surface the kinetic friction and static friction related as?
Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.
Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?
Usually static.
Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
Is kinetic friction the hardest friction to overcome?
No, static friction is generally stronger than kinetic friction.
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
Diference between static and kinetic friction?
the static friction is the force of friction that keep an object at rest from movie and kinetic friction is the force of friction that tries to start a moving object
What the 3 types of friction?
Kinetic, Static, and Rolling Friction
Static friction is usually greater than?
kinetic friction
What is the force that keeps you from sliding on an icy sidewalk kinetic friction static friction?
coefficient kinetic
