Answer
| S. No. | Static friction | Kinetic friction |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Static friction is the friction that exists when the bodies in contact are at rest with respect to each other. | Kinetic friction is the friction that exists between two bodies when the applied force overcomes static friction and bodies start moving. |
| 2. | To move a body, the applied force should be greater than the static friction. | To move a body, the applied force can be less than or equal to the kinetic friction. |
| 3. | Static friction is more than kinetic friction. | Kinetic friction is less than static friction. |
