daster Dec 7, 2004 #2 If there's no friction, an object can't roll. Static friction occurs when the object stops moving, i.e. when the force provided by friction cancels out the net-force. Kinetic friction occurs when the object continues moving with decreasing acceleration due to friction until it eventually comes to rest.
