Explain Newton's Third Law of Motion. Hint Newton's Third Law tells us what happens when two objects exchange forces. Back to Ch. 2 questions. Back to Ch. 2 questions. Explain the difference between static and kinetic friction.
Static friction matches the applied force up to a certain maximum value.
The maximum value of static friction is greater than kinetic friction for most surfaces. This is why it is harder to get something sliding than to keep it sliding. Back to Ch. 2 questions. Name some uses for friction. Hint Friction is a very important force.
