Kinetic friction works over a distance so it does work. I get that. How about static friction? Technically it works over a distance (i think) but b/c this distance is quite small, does it do a material amount of work?
Had a question that asked me how much work friction did as a block was pushed along a surface and friction was present in both forms. The block started from rest. I don't have the answer but was just wondering aloud......any thoughts?
