How do kinetic friction and static friction compare when pushing on a box?(1 point)

Question

Responses

Static friction is the same as kinetic friction, so it requires the same force to start moving the box and keep moving it.
Static friction is the same as kinetic friction, so it requires the same force to start moving the box and keep moving it.

Static friction is the same as kinetic friction, but the momentum of the box makes it require more force to start moving the box than to keep moving it.

Static friction is less than kinetic friction, so it requires less force to start moving the box than to keep moving it.

Static friction is always greater than kinetic friction, so it requires more force to start moving the box than to keep moving it.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Static friction is always greater than kinetic friction, so it requires more force to start moving the box than to keep moving it.

This means that the force needed to overcome static friction to start the box moving is typically greater than the force needed to overcome kinetic friction once the box is already in motion.
