Question

Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction.​

Answer 1

$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\bigstar{\mathfrak{\red{Answer}}}}}}$

The sliding friction is less than static friction because of the interlocking of irregularities in the two surfaces. When the object starts sliding the contact points on its surface, do not get enough time to lock into the contact points on the floor. So the sliding friction is slightly less than the static friction❤️

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sliding friction is slightly less than static friction because sliding friction only some part of a body is in contact with the surface or ground.... where as in static friction the whole body is in contact with the surface or ground.... static friction is the starting force which is equal to the force applied by the object so static friction is more...
