What is the difference between Kinetic Friction and Static Friction?
O One describes the potential energy stored in an object and the surface it’s on, while the other describes the energy of the object as it’s sliding or rolling
O One describes the force required to be overcome for sliding or rolling to begin, while the other the force between two things as one sliding or rolling.
O One is for an object that is sliding, while the other is for an object that is rolling.
O One is the maximum force that can be achieved between two objects, while the other is the minimum force that is required between two objects.
