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.


When is static friction applied?

Static friction is not necessarily an applied force, but something that occurs when there is an applied force. Static friction occurs when there is no motion and there is a force being applied to an object on a surface.


What is static fristion?

Static friction is friction that occurs between two or more solid objects not moving in a relative fashion with each other.


What kind of friction occurs when you walk?

Static friction, because your feet aren't (hopefully!) sliding.


What are the classifications of friction?

there are 2 types: 1)static friction and 2)kinetic friction


Which describes how sliding friction affects pushing a cereal box a tabletop?

it is usually greater than static friction


The force you have to overcome to start an object moving is .?

I have to guess either gravity or friction.If by that you mean a force that opposes the start of motion, then your force would be static friction.Static friction only occurs before an object starts moving, as opposed to kinetic friction which occurs when the objects is moving or sliding. The equation for static friction is: Ff = (coefficient of static friction) * FNInertia


What type of friction prevents motion?

All types of friction act opposite to the direction of motion but static friction is the friction present before motion occurs.


When does static electricity happen?

When friction is created by two objects that are moving but not relative to each other, its called static friction. Static friction keeps an object from moving until friction is created to move it.


Which friction is greater sliding friction or static friction?

Static friction


Name the three types of friction?

Three types of friction are : 1. Kinetic friction :Friction that arises between surfaces in relative motion. 2. Static friction :Friction that acts between surfaces at rest with respect to each other 3. Rolling friction : Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. Static, sliding, rolling.


What is fristion?

Static friction is friction that occurs between two or more solid objects not moving in a relative fashion with each other.
