difference between static and sliding friction
Answers
Explanation:
The two sliding objects find less time to get interlocked against each other (objects and irregularities of surface). ... Therefore sliding friction is always less than static friction.
Static Friction :-
In a simple way we can define static Friction as the force required to overcome friction at the instant an object starts moving from rest is a measure of Static friction .
Sliding Friction :-
We can define sliding friction as thef force required to keep object moving with the same speed is a measure of Sliding Friction .
Extra info :
Sliding friction is slightly less than Static Friction :)
Just take an example
When wooden block starts sliding , the contact points on the surface do not get enough time to lock into contact points on the floor . So , the Sliding Friction is slightly said smaller than the Static Friction and you fine somewhat easier to move block already in motion than to get it started .
That's why it is said that sliding friction is slightly less than Static Friction .
