Explain why sliding friction is slightly less than static friction
Answers
Answer:
For a given two surface, sliding friction is slightly lesser than that of the static friction because it is easy to move the object which already in motion than the object which is at rest

Answer:
Sliding friction is less than static friction. Why? The answer is given below.
Explanation:
When we apply force on an object but that object doesn't tend to move, then static friction comes into play. Tgat object doesn't move at all because the force applied on that object is comparatively less than force of friction. After some time if we apply more force, then that object starts to move because the force is greater than that of friction, therefore the force overcomes friction. This friction has now changed from static to sliding friction. In sliding friction two objects slide against each other in order to move. As the object is already in motion, it is easier to push or pull it further because in sliding friction, the irregularities have less time to interlock with each other therefore sliding friction is less than static friction.
