sliding friction


Is the force needed to overcome kinetic friction greater than static friction?

No, it CAN'T be greater, and it is usually smaller.


Which describes how sliding friction affects pushing a cereal box a tabletop?

It usually take more force to start an object sliding than it does to keep an object sliding because static friction is usually than sliding friction?

usually greater than the sliding friction

When a body slides over a surface the kinetic friction and static friction related as?

Kinetic friction is the friction that applies when an object is moving; static friction is the friction that applies when the object is not moving. Static friction must always be greater than, or equal to, kinetic friction.


Is the friction between car tires and pavement greater when the car is at rest or in motion?

Interesting - static friction is greater than moving friction; but if the car is not in a skid, then the part of the tires in contact with the road is not moving ... thus static friction holds in both cases.


Is static friction stronger than rolling and sliding friction?

It had better be! Otherwise, nothing could ever start sliding ... as soon as yourpull on the string becomes strong enough for the object to break free of thestatic friction and begin to slide, the force of kinetic friction would take over,and it would suddenly be even stronger!


Is sliding friction greater than rolling friction?

Typically not. However rolling friction is somewhat of a myth. Rolling friction is actually caused by static friction. There are really only two types of friction: Static and Kinetic. That's it! Rolling friction is caused by static friction and the coefficient of friction (which determines its strength) is dependent upon the two materials of interaction.


Why standing friction is greater than sliding friction?

Starting, or static, friction is greater than sliding friction in general. Static friction requires force to be overcome as the object rests on a surface due to its roughness. The roughness is a bunch of small contact points under high stress that resists motion; once this resistance is overcome, the object moves and its velocity allows the surface to glide over the rough spots more easily . This sliding friction is thus a little lower than static friction
