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.

How is the equation fn mg ma used to calculate the force of friction acting on an object of mass m moving with acceleration a?

The equation fn mg ma is used to calculate the force of friction acting on an object of mass m moving with acceleration a by subtracting the force of gravity (mg) from the force needed to accelerate the object (ma). The remaining force is the force of friction.
