Question on: SS2 Physics - Mechanics - Laws of Motion
The coefficient of static friction is always:
Greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction
Â
Equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction
Â
Â
Smaller than the coefficient of kinetic friction
Â
Unrelated to the coefficient of kinetic friction
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.
