In general, the coefficient of static friction is __________. In general, the coefficient of static friction is __________. equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction smaller than the coefficient of kinetic friction

Respuesta :

Answer:

greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction              

Explanation:

For the same two materials, the coefficient of static friction is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.

A static friction is a friction that occurs when the two objects or bodies do not move relative to each other. The coefficient of static friction prevents a body from slipping or sliding down.

A kinetic friction is a frictional force that occurs between two bodies when they start moving.

The coefficient of static friction id slightly more than the coefficient of kinetic friction because force applied to move a object should be such that it overcomes the static friction for a object to set motion.

Thus the answer is -

"greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction".
