Static FrictionEasyQuestion 30206

Question

Static friction between two surfaces:
  1. A
    Is always equal to μₛN
  2. B
    Can have any value from 0 to μₛN
    Correct
  3. C
    Is always kinetic friction + 1 N
  4. D
    Opposes relative motion between surfaces

Correct answer

Can have any value from 0 to μₛN

Explanation

Static friction is self-adjusting — it takes whatever value is needed (up to its limiting value μₛN) to prevent relative motion.
