Question

Static friction is ................. than the sliding friction. Fill in the blank

Answer 1

Static friction is (lesser) than the sliding friction.

Answer 2

Static friction is always greater than sliding friction.

This is because static fiction has the power to stop the object from sliding. Sliding fiction acts on an object when it slides over a surface.

Hence it is not continuous or for the long run.

Only, for this reason, it is easier for us to slide a heavy furniture over the floor than picking it up and placing it on the other space.
