8. The force required to start an object sliding across a uniform horizontal surface
is larger than the force required to keep the object sliding at a constant velocity.
The magnitudes of the required forces are different in these situations because
the force of kinetic friction
(1) is greater than the force of static friction
(2) is less than the force of static friction
(3) increases as the speed of the object relative to the surface increases
(4) decreases as the speed of the object relative to the surface increases |
