Why is it easier to maintain the motion than to state it?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why it is easier to maintain the motion of an object than to start it, we can break down the concepts of static friction and kinetic friction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Friction**: - Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. There are two main types of friction: static friction and kinetic friction. 2. **Static Friction**: ...
