Front

Is the coefficient of kinetic friction always greater than the coefficient of static friction?

Back

False

Front

The measurement of how much friction a surface exerts when an object moves across is called

Back

Coefficient of Kinetic Friction

Front

The measurement of how much friction a surface exerts when an object is stationary is called

Back

Coefficient of Static Friction

Front

In order to get an object to move, one must exert a force that is equal or greater than

Back

The Force of Static Friction

Front

The force that acts perpendicular to and is exerted by the surface is called
