Detailed Solution

A frictional force that opposes the relative sliding motion between the two surfaces in contact is called sliding friction. Sliding friction arises when objects are already in motion, for example, friction between a moving car and a road. It is always less than static friction because sliding objects find less time to interlock with each other.
