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 types of friction?

There are 2 types of frictions: 1. Rolling friction 2. Static friction 3. Fluid friction


Which coefficient of friction is greater static or kinetic?

The coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and must be overcome to start moving, leading to a higher coefficient compared to kinetic friction, which occurs when an object is already in motion.


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


Static friction is usually greater than?

kinetic friction


Can the coefficient of static friction be equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction?

No, the coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.


Is it true that kinetic friction is always greater than the maximum value of static friction?

Yes, it is generally true that kinetic friction is always greater than the maximum value of static friction.


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.


The two types of friction you learned about in this lesson are?

The two types of friction are static friction, which acts between stationary objects, and kinetic friction, which acts between moving objects. Static friction is generally greater than kinetic friction.


What is greater static friction or kinetic energy?

Static friction is typically greater than kinetic friction because it prevents an object from moving initially, requiring more force to overcome. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy possessed by a moving object and is dependent on its mass and velocity.


Which type of friction is usually greater static friction or kinetic friction?

Static friction is usually greater than kinetic friction. This is because static friction occurs between stationary objects, where surface irregularities can interlock and require more force to overcome. Once an object starts moving, kinetic friction takes over, which is generally lower because the surfaces are already in motion.


Which form of friction is harder to overcome static or kinetic?

Static friction is generally harder to overcome compared to kinetic friction. This is because static friction opposes the initial motion of an object and requires more force to initiate movement, while kinetic friction opposes the motion of an object already in motion.


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.
