The coefficient of static friction is always - SS2 Physics Mechanics - Laws of Motion Question
The coefficient of static friction is always:
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
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.
