No; that doesn't make much sense since it would violate the Law of Conservation of Energy.

No, static friction cannot be negative. Static friction always acts in the direction opposite to the applied force and prevents an object from moving when a force is applied. If the external force is removed, static friction drops to zero.

What are the 2kinds of friction?

The two types of friction are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are at rest relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are in motion relative to each other.

Is static friction or sliding friction stronger?

Static friction is typically stronger than sliding friction. Static friction occurs when an object is at rest and needs to overcome the initial force required to start moving, whereas sliding friction occurs once the object is already in motion.
