The static coef. of friction is greater than the kinetic coef. of friction.
No, static friction is generally stronger than kinetic friction.
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.

The value of static friction is higher than the value of kinetic (sliding) friction.
Table of CoefficientsThe coefficient of kinetic friction is always less than or equal to that of static friction.The table below shows many coefficients of friction. Notice that each value is always given for a pair of surfaces. Friction doesn't work unless there are two surfaces.Also note that there are values shown for both static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction deals with starting to move something, while kinetic friction deals with keeping something moving once it's already in motion.In each case, it's also important to note that the coefficients of kinetic friction are always less than or equal to the coefficients of static friction. objectWrite('');Coefficients of Friction for Pairs of SurfacesSurfaces in ContactCoefficient of Static Friction (s)Coefficient of Kinetic Friction (k)Wood on wood0.50.3Waxed ski on snow0.10.05Ice on ice0.10.03Rubber on concrete (dry)1.00.8Rubber on concrete (wet)0.70.5Glass on glass0.940.4Steel on aluminum0.610.47Steel on steel (dry)0.70.6Steel on steel (lubricated)0.120.07Teflon on steel0.040.04Teflon on Teflon0.040.04

sliding friction is less than static friction. it is also very easy to move better than static friction.
