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.

Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
The force needed to overcome kinetic frictions is usually less than that needed to overcome static friction?
True -It's "False"!
Which form of friction is harder to overcome static or kinetic?
The static coef. of friction is greater than the kinetic coef. of friction.
Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?
Usually static.
Is the force needed to overcome kinetic friction greater than static friction?
No, it CAN'T be greater, and it is usually smaller.
Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?
static usully greater then kinetic
What are types of friction?
There are 2 types of frictions: 1. Rolling friction 2. Static friction 3. Fluid friction
The force needed to overcome kinetic frictions is usually less than that needed to overcome static friction?
True -It's "False"!
Which form of friction is harder to overcome static or kinetic?
The static coef. of friction is greater than the kinetic coef. of friction.
Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?
Usually static.
Static friction is usually greater than?
kinetic friction
Which is greater limiting static or kinetic friction?
static friction is greater,kcompared to all other frictions. static friction>kinematic friction>rolling friction static friction(sf) comes in to picture when we are trying to move a body from rest. the (sf) increases with force up to a extent and there after the body starts moving. this is the reason for which low gear is used to start vehicles. in first gear the total engine power is utilized to initiate the motion
What are 2 type of frictions?
Static and Kinetic friction, static is the friction between two objects when they are not moving (relative to each other) an example of this is and object staying still on a sloped surface. obviously, kinetic friction is the friction between two objects that are moving and making contact, for example wind resistance.
Is the force needed to overcome kinetic friction greater than static friction?
No, it CAN'T be greater, and it is usually smaller.
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.
Why cofficent of static friction is less than 1?
It need not be less than one; it just happens to be so in most cases.
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.
