Kinetic friction, which occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other, is generally lesser than static friction, which must be overcome to start moving an object from rest. Static friction is the force that resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest. Once an object is in motion, it typically requires less force to keep it moving, hence kinetic friction is less than static friction.
