Explain why sliding friction is little less than static friction ?

Answers (1)

best_answer

Sliding friction is less than static friction as the frictional force between two surfaces depends on the interlocking between the irregularities on the surfaces. This interlocking in case of sliding decreases as the contact points does not get enough time to interlock properly thus reducing the frictional force.
