Why is kinetic friction constant? If friction during motion of an object relative to the ground is a result of continuous formation and breaking of bonds between molecules of ground and the moving body(as explained in Byju's video lectures), then with increase in velocity of the body, it will be difficult for the object to form bonds with the molecules of the ground and hence the kinetic friction should decrease. But why does it have a constant value? What is the explanation of that?
