How does the coefficient of kinetic friction compare with that of static friction for the same surfaces?
AIt is always greater
BIt is always equal
CIt is zero when sliding
DIt is somewhat smaller
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It is somewhat smaller
Once sliding begins the friction drops below the maximum static value, so the kinetic coefficient is smaller.
