    High School How Does Static Friction Affect Energy and Work in Physics?

    Hello, I have been learning about energy and work in my 100 level physics class and I got to thinking: W = F*d But I'm wondering how this works in the case of static friction. For instance, if I take a really heavy object and apply a force to it that isn't enough to move it, the distance it...
