    Static friction
    Static friction is friction between two solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. For example, static friction can prevent an object from sliding down a sloped surface. The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as μs, is usually higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
    The static friction force must be overcome by an applied force before an object can move. The maximum possible friction force between two surfaces before sliding begins is the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force: f = μsFn. When there is no sliding occurring, the friction force can have any value from zero up to Fmax. Any force smaller than Fmax attempting to slide one surface over the other is opposed by a frictional force of equal magnitude and opposite direction. Any force larger than Fmax overcomes the force of static friction and causes sliding to occur. The instant sliding occurs, static friction is no longer applicable and kinetic friction becomes applicable.
    An example of static friction is the force that prevents a car wheel from slipping as it rolls on the ground. Even though the wheel is in motion, the patch of the tire in contact with the ground is stationary relative to the ground, so it is static rather than kinetic friction.
    The maximum value of static friction, when motion is impending, is sometimes referred to as limiting friction,[11] although this term is not used universally.[4]
    Kinetic_friction
    Kinetic friction
    Kinetic (or dynamic) friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together (like a sled on the ground). The coefficient of kinetic friction is typically denoted as μk, and is usually less than the coefficient of static friction for the same materials.
    Examples of kinetic friction:
    Kinetic friction is when two objects are rubbing against each other. Putting a book flat on a desk and moving it around is an example of kinetic friction.
    Fluid friction is the interaction between a solid object and a fluid (liquid or gas), as the object moves through the fluid. The skin friction of air on an airplane or of water on a swimmer are two examples of fluid friction. This kind of friction is not only due to rubbing, which generates a force tangent to the surface of the object (such as sliding friction). It is also due to forces that are orthogonal to the surface of the object. These orthogonal forces significantly (and mainly, if relative velocity is high enough) contribute to fluid friction.

    -Coefficient of Friction
    The ratio of friction between two objects and the forces pushing them together. The coefficient of friction depends on the materials used; for example, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction, while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction.

    -Action reaction pairs
    ForcesIn every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

    -Differences
    between weight vs. mass (example with moon)
    The mass of an object refers to the amount of matter that is contained by the object; while the weight of an object is the force of gravity acting upon that object. Weight is related to the pull of the earth on an object while mass is related to the density of an object. The mass of an object never changes, while weight can vary depending on where in the universe the object is located.
    Ex. If an object with a mass of 3kg on earth was taken up to the moon it would still contain a mass of 3kg but it would weight less because gravity is not as strong on the moon.

    - If two objects interact, the magnitude of the force exerted on object 1 by oject 2 is equal to the magnitude of the force simultaneously exerted on object 2 by object 1, and these two forces are opposite in direction.
    (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction)

    The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object which is in contact with another stable object.
