The friction that opposes the start of motion between two surfaces is called:
A
Rolling friction
B
Static friction
C
Fluid friction
D
Kinetic friction
Correct Answer: Option B — Static friction
Explanation:
Static friction is the resistive force that must be overcome to initiate relative motion between two surfaces in contact; it generally has a...
Static friction is the resistive force that must be overcome to initiate relative motion between two surfaces in contact; it generally has a higher maximum value than kinetic friction for the same surfaces.
