Answer:

Static friction prevents a stationary object from moving while kinetic or dynamic friction slows down a moving object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Static Friction is the maximum force that must be overcome before a stationary object begins to move, while kinetic or dynamic friction is the maximum force that must be overcome for an object in motion to continue moving at a uniform velocity.

Static friction keeps a stationary object at rest, once the Force of Static friction is overcome, the Force of Kinetic friction is what slows down the moving object.
