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. Friction is a resistance to motion that is opposite the direction of travel. It is caused when two surfaces are in contact. Since friction acts to slow down a moving object, it is called a resistive force. This is different than active forces that cause objects to accelerate or change direction. Friction is mainly caused by surface roughness. The classic law of friction states that friction is the product of a coefficient and a force.
