Question
Answer the following in short.
When you push something heavy, the resistance you feel decreases as soon as the object starts moving. Explain the reason.
Solution
It is because when the object is at rest, static friction occurs. The static friction is maximum when the applied force is just short of the force required to start motion between the two bodies in contact. Once the object starts moving, friction (resistance) we feel decreases.
