!!! note ### Friction
Static friction is always equal to the force applied by another object until an object begins to slip, at which point kinetic/dynamic friction applies. Kinetic friction is a constant force that is lower than the peak force of static friction.

Kinetic friction, also known as **dynamic friction**, is a constant force that is lower than the peak force of static friction.
The **coefficient of friction** ($\mu$) represents the ratio between friction force and normal force, and has a different value for kinetic and static friction. The **maximum** force of static friction is equal to its coefficient multiplied by the normal force ($|F_{fS}|_{\max} = \mu_s F_N$), while the force of kinetic friction is equal to its coefficient multiplied by the normal force ($F_{fK} = \mu_k F_N$).
