Question

Explain why sliding friction is less than static friction​

Answer 1

Explanation:

During sliding, contact points do not get enough time to get interlocked properly. Therefore, less friction. But, when the object is at rest, the surfaces interlock well, therefore friction is more. This explains why sliding friction is less than static friction.

sis sorry yaad nahi aa raha hai

but aap meri sis aur dost dono ho

Answer 2

• Friction comes into play when irregularities present in the surfaces of two objects in contact get interlocked with each other.
• In sliding, the time given for interlocking is very small. Hence, interlocking is not strong.
• Therefore, less force is required to overcome this interlocking. Because f this reason, sliding friction is less than static friction.
