A: The basis attributed to IRA assets that you inherited remains the same. Since you are a spouse beneficiary and you elect to treat the assets as your own by transferring them to your own IRA, the basis is now treated as if you made the non-deductible contribution.
Static friction is greater than kinetic friction because of irregularities between the static object and the surface upon which it rests. The irregularities mesh together making it more difficult to start movement than to keep the object in motion. Continue Reading.
Friction is a force that acts against a moving object to slow it down. A type of friction is air resistance. Friction opposes the direction in which the object is moving, causing the object to decrease in speed, or stop all together. All kinds of friction cause moving objects to slow down or stop. Friction can be quantified as a force resisting motion which is proportional to the weight of the object, for an object lying on a flat surface. The frictional force is found by multiplying the objects weight by a coefficient of friction, which is usually less than one, but can be higher than one (for example with rubber tyres on dry tarmac).
