OMG Step 1 was soooo hard

Taking that first step is difficult because you must overcome frictional resistance to movement. The second step will be easier with less friction due to momentum.

The words you're looking for are 'static friction' and 'kinetic (or dynamic) friction'. It's often (but not always) true that static friction <= dynamic. Though from what I've learned you should really only expect a difference when the surfaces are wet (lubricated). Momentum has nothing to do with it.
 
Med School Boards?
Yeah they suck. Step One especially.

Step Two used to be your reward for passing Step One but word is that the last two years it has blown as much.

Thank you for filling in the holes in my memory. 🙂

I think you meant that static friction typically is greater than kinetic friction.
 
collecting underpants isn't that hard. no idea what you're going to do when you get to 2. that's the hard one.
 
Heh, well now that you got the underpants I have a strong feeling that you'll reassess your feelings about step 1 when you attempt st...

God dammit ElFenix.
 
How long did you study for? It wasnt that bad when I took it. Are you shooting for a particular score?
 
Just remember, you do not have an addiction if you know you can quit anytime you want, only thing holding you back is that you do not want to quit.
 
Is this thread about buttsex?

Static Friction > Dynamic Friction

(typically)

Which is why your car takes longer to stop if you lock the wheels/tires.

Uhh....?

Wheels not locked: Dynamic friction between brake pad and brake rotor.
Wheels locked: Dynamic friction between tire and pavement.

Key word - tire

Wheels rotating - coefficient of static friction between tire and road.

Wheels locked - coefficient of dynamic friction between tire and road.

The dynamic friction of the pads/rotors is designed to be high - when the brakes are applied the pads transfer small amounts of friction material to the rotor (majority of this occurs during bedding in). The friction material on the pad and rotor then sticks to each other, slowing the vehicle.

The other thing to remember is that comparing static and dynamic friction only works within the same system i.e., changing between rotors and tires changes systems and you can't draw comparisons between static and dynamic friction as easily.
