What is difference between inertia and static friction?
Is kinetic friction higher or lower than static friction?
It depends on the situation. In general, static friction is higher than kinetic friction because it takes more force to get an object moving than to keep it moving. However, the magnitude of both types of friction depends on factors such as the materials of the surfaces in contact, the force pushing them together, and the speed of the relative motion.
