What is an example of static friction?

Answer 1

Static friction is the friction the object must be able to overcome in order to move. I'm sure you've noticed that you have to work hard to get an object to move, but once its moving, it is easier to push it. That is because static friction is greater that kinetic friction.

Answer 2

The force of friction exerted on the body even when the body is at rest is called static friction (as weight as the external force providing normal reaction). By virtue of nature every body in contact with another body has a coefficient of max. static friction(K) to observe motion the external force applied on a body must be greater than the max. static frictional force (KXN , where N- normal reaction)

Answer 3

It's sort of hard to explain without drawing it. Obviously, objects are very rough at the microscopic level, and that causes friction, but static friction supplemented by electrostatic bonds between molecules of the objects. The molecules on the bottom of one object form loose bonds to the molecules on the top of the other object, and to move, these bonds must be broken. Once the object is moving, however, these bonds cannot be formed, so it is not an issue with kinetic friction.

Answer 4

A simple way to understand is that when a horizontal force is applied to a static body with an intention to move the same, a frictional force equal to the applied force develops in the opposite direction resisting the motion. As long as the body does not move , this force is called static frictional force. Now if the applied force is increased, the frictional force in the opposite direction increases proportionately until it reaches the limit after which if the applied force is increased, the body starts moving. This threshold force is called static or limiting force of friction.

Answer 5

Static friction is frictional force that prevents or slows two surfaces from sliding past each other. An example is a kid sliding down the slide.
