Having your hands touch. Anything where things aren't moving, they are just touching.

If you are asking about Coulomb Friction, static friction is the resistance to movement (sliding) of one object over another when force is applied but there is no movement. Once the objects begin to move in relationship to each other (slide) the force required is lessened and dynamic friction is in play. Static friction requires a greater force to get an object moving, dynamic friction requires a lesser force to keep the object moving.

Sitting in a chair is an example of what friction?

Static friction, as the force that keeps you in place while sitting in the chair is static, meaning the objects are not moving relative to each other.


Explain the difference between static friction and kinetic friction. Give an example of each.?

Static friction occurs when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are sliding past each other. An example of static friction is trying to push a heavy box that won't budge, while an example of kinetic friction is the resistance when sliding a book across a table.


List the two types of friction and give an example of each?

The two types of friction are static friction and kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact but not moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and are moving relative to each other. An example of static friction is pushing a heavy box that is initially at rest, while an example of kinetic friction is dragging that same box once it is in motion.


What is the relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction, denoted as latex: mus?

The relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction (s) is that static friction is directly proportional to the coefficient of static friction. This means that the force of static friction acting on an object is determined by the coefficient of static friction between the object and the surface it is in contact with.


What type of friction holds thingsin place?

It provides static friction, so the object cannot move until the static friction is overcome. For example, if the object at rest had 5N static friction, it would take 5.1N to make the object start moving.
