What Happens When The Applied Force Equals the Static Friction Force?

[QUOTE="PeroK, post: 6563538, member: 493650"] This doesn't sound right. It should be: ... when the applied force on an object exceeds the maximum static frictional force, the object begins to move with constant acceleration. Note that static friction is usually greater than kinetic friction, so that you get a significant acceleration depending on how large this difference is. If the force is constant, then there is theoretically a minimum acceleration of ##\frac{f_s - f_k]{m}##, where ##f_k## is the kinetic friction, ##f_s## the static friction and ##m## the mass of the object. We assume that the applied force is approximately ##f_s## but just a tiny bit more. [/QUOTE]
