View related lesson
A
Greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction
B
Equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction
C
Smaller than the coefficient of kinetic friction
D
Unrelated to the coefficient of kinetic friction
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation: The coefficient of static friction (μs) is generally greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) for a given pair of surfaces. The static friction is higher because it needs to be overcome to initiate motion.
