Answer:
The friction between the two surfaces is because of the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces. During sliding, contact points do not get enough time to get interlocked properly. Therefore, less friction.
This explains why sliding friction is less than static friction.

Answer:
this is because the sliding friction has a gravitational pull towards the surface so it doesn't get much time to hold rough surface
