Answer:
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.
So , sliding friction is slightly less than static friction.

Answer:
- The sliding friction is less than static friction because of the interlocking of irregularities between the two surfaces is more in static friction.
- when the object start 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
