1. Define static friction and explain how it differs from kinetic friction.
2. A box weighing 50 N is resting on a horizontal surface. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.4, calculate the maximum static friction force that can act on the box.
3. Describe a real-life scenario where static friction is essential for motion. Explain how it works in that scenario.
