False. The force needed to overcome static friction is typically greater than that needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction is the resistance to motion when an object is at rest, while kinetic friction is the resistance to motion when an object is already in motion. Static friction requires more force to overcome because it is necessary to break the initial "stickiness" between the surfaces.
