Starting movement requires overcoming static friction, which can be higher than kinetic friction. Once an object is in motion, it only needs to overcome kinetic friction, which is typically lower. Additionally, inertia requires a greater force to overcome at the beginning of movement compared to maintaining movement.

Is kinetic friction the one that must be overcome in order to start something moving?

No, static friction is the force that must be overcome to start an object moving from rest. Kinetic friction comes into play once the object is already in motion, opposing its movement.


Why should start exercising when your younger instead of waiting until your older?

Power is movement and movement is power. By exercising you are moving and by moving you are toning muscles. Something that does not move stagnates, the body produces fat around muscles the heart is a muscle, and it becomes harder to lose the fat the older you get, and you will become stagnant. That it in a nut shell, and eat them as well, they're high in oleic acid, which is necessary for heart health, they put it in bread, unless your nut intolerant.


Why is it harder to get an object to start moving then it is to keep the object moving?

It is harder to get an object to start moving because overcoming static friction requires more force than maintaining its motion due to kinetic friction. Static friction is stronger initially but once the object is in motion, it requires less force to keep it moving due to kinetic friction being lower.


Why does it seem harder to start sliding a couch?

It may seem harder to start sliding a couch because of the friction between the couch and the floor. The weight and size of the couch can make it more difficult to overcome this friction and get it moving.


What kind or friction must be overcome to start movement of a stationary object?

Static friction must be overcome to start movement of a stationary object. This is the friction that exists between two surfaces that are not moving relative to each other. Once the static friction is overcome, the object can start moving.


How do objects start moving?

Objects start out as either a rest or moving. If they are at rest, they require a force to be applied for them to start moving. If they are moving, they require a force to either slow them down or to make them stop. That means that once something starts moving, it will move forever, unless a force slows it down. The catch is that the force can be friction.


How does inertia help a bicycle start?

it doesn't, in fact it makes it harder. Inertia resists change, so it makes it a bit difficult to get the bike moving.


What happens to the movement of molecules when their temperre is raised?

The molecules start moving faster and spread out, meaning that the air is warm/hot.


How does 2nd law of motion apply to everyday life?

Newton's second law of motion is: Force = (mass) x (acceleration).Here are some different ways to say it:"If something is just laying there and you want it to start moving,you must push on it.""If something is already moving but you want it to move faster,you must push on it.""If something is already moving but you want it to stop, you mustget in front of it and push back on it to slow it down.""If something is already moving but you want it to move in adifferent direction, you must run alongside it and push it in thenew direction.""In every case, you have to push harder on objects with more massjust to get the same result you could get with a lighter push on anobject with less mass."


What word means to push into motion?

"Initiate" means to push into motion or to start something moving.
