Explanation:
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:
The sliding friction is less than static friction because the sliding object get less time to interlock into the contact points on the floor. So it is somewhat easier to move an object already in motion than to get it started.
