Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
Is the force needed to overcome kinetic friction greater than static friction?
No, it CAN'T be greater, and it is usually smaller.
Which form of friction is harder to overcome static or kinetic?
The static coef. of friction is greater than the kinetic coef. of friction.
Why kinetic friction's cofficent is greater then static friction's cofficent?
It usually isn't ... it's the other way around. And static friction is greater because of settling ... i.e. the molecules at the surfaces can get closer to each other at rest. (They fit into each other's nooks and crannies.
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.
Static friction is usually greater than?
kinetic 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.

What is Static friction is usually greater than?
sliding 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.
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.
It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?
usually greater than the sliding friction
As soon as an object starts moving what replaces static friction?
Kinetic Friction replaces Static Friction when an object is in motion.
Is kinetic friction the hardest friction to overcome?
No, static friction is generally stronger than kinetic friction.
