Static friction produces a greater force than kinetic friction, given that all other conditions remain the same.

Static friction generally produces a larger friction force compared to kinetic friction. Static friction occurs when there is no relative motion between two surfaces in contact, while kinetic friction occurs when there is relative motion.
Static friction is generally harder to overcome compared to kinetic friction because static friction is the force that resists the initial motion of an object. Once an object is in motion, the friction force is reduced to the kinetic friction force, which is usually lower.
When you rub two things together, the force produced is called friction. Friction opposes the motion of the objects and is caused by the interactions between their surfaces. The amount of friction depends on factors such as the materials of the objects, the force pushing them together, and the roughness of their surfaces.
When pushing an object, the force applied is perpendicular to the surface, increasing the normal force and thus increasing the friction force. When pulling an object, the force may be slightly angled, reducing the normal force and thus decreasing the friction force.
The maximum friction force is the force that occurs when an object is on the verge of moving or sliding. This force is equal to the coefficient of friction (μ) multiplied by the normal force acting on the object.
Friction is produced when two objects come into contact and the surface irregularities of the objects interlock or deform, creating resistance to motion. This resistance leads to the force called friction, which opposes the relative motion or attempts at motion between the two objects.
