in direction.”

Q

It acts on objects when they are resting on a surface. It includes all cases in which the frictional force is sufficient to prevent relative motion between surfaces. If you try to slide two objects past each other, a small amount of force will result in no motion. The force of friction is greater than the applied force.

6
Q

It is defined as a force that acts between moving surfaces. Anything that rubs, slides, or slips has some kinetic friction. If you apply a little
force, the object “breaks free” and slides, although you still need to apply force to keep the object sliding.

A

Sliding friction or Kinetic friction (fk)
