Concept
Kinetic friction and energy loss
Kinetic friction is a roughly constant force opposing sliding motion that converts organized kinetic energy into heat at the contact interface, at a rate set by the normal force and a material coefficient.

Static friction is not a fixed force but a responsive one, matching whatever is needed to keep two touching surfaces from sliding, up to a maximum set by the normal force and a material coefficient.
