Type of friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface upon which it rests is called _
Correct answer: B. Static Friction
- A. Kinetic Friction
- B. Static Friction
- C. No friction is present
- D. Both A and B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: Static Friction. Static friction is the force that resists the initial motion of a stationary object in contact with a surface. It must be overcome for the object to start moving. Option A, kinetic friction, applies when an object is already in motion. Option C is incorrect because friction always exists between surfaces in contact. Option D is incorrect because kinetic friction does not act on stationary objects.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
