A box is hard to start moving but easier to keep moving. This shows static friction is:
AGlossier
BGrainier
CGreater
DGentler
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Greater
1. Starting needs a bigger push than continuing.
2. The resisting force must be bigger at rest.
3. So static friction is greater.
