Between any object and surface, the coefficient of static friction is _____ the coefficient of kinetic friction.

equal to

less than

greater than

Respuesta :

Answer

Greater than.

Static friction is the force that opposes motion between two objects that are not in motion. For the object to move one have to overcome the static friction. This force is usually greater than the force that exist between two surfaces that are in relative motion. This force is called kinetic friction.

For this reason the coefficient of static friction is greater that coefficient of kinetic friction.
