Sentences with phrase «static friction»
Static friction is the force that keeps objects at rest from moving when you try to push or slide them. It acts between the surfaces of two objects and helps them stay still and not slip. Full definition
With proper ABS, the wheels are rolling in contact with the road, so we're primarily talking about static friction.

«Once you have a repulsive force between two plates, you should be able to eliminate static friction,» Capasso says.
Before an earthquake, static friction helps hold the two sides of a fault immobile and pressed against each other.
In the case of shallow earthquakes, stresses on the fault increase slowly in response to slow movement of tectonic plates, with sliding beginning when these stresses exceed static friction.
At this point, the sideways driver is at the mercy of four forces: static friction between the tires and the surface; the normal force (basically the force with which the surface pushes back at an object, insisting on annoying the surface with its presence); gravity; and the «downward force» (also sideways in this case) of the car, which should have aerodynamic qualities that make it stick more to the wall the faster it goes.
They then put the two pieces together under pressure, simulating the static friction that builds up along a fault line.
To work out whether the force of gravity on the car was less than or equal to the static friction force holding it on the wall, they needed to include a range of factors including the mass of the vehicle, the car's speed and its centripetal force.
The above quote means that your goal as the driver is to attempt to ensure that the clutch is spending more time in a static friction mode (i.e., where the frictional surfaces of the clutch are turning at the same speed, pressed tightly together) rather than a kinetic friction mode (i.e., where the frictional surfaces are turning at different speeds and are slipping past each other).
That and just overcoming the static friction of all the accessories upon initial startup, as well as the coefficient of friction of the belt itself will be lower when cold.
It turns out that static friction is stronger than sliding friction.
Or maybe your source of «static friction» was after being turned away by an investment advisor who has a large minimum account size.
