What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when to stop pushing?
Static Friction

Static Friction
When a person pushes a crate across the floor what force is working in reaction to the pushing force?
friction
A basketball rolling across a flat floor has energy?
A basketball rolling across a flat floor has translational and rotational kinetic energy. There's a force of gravity pulling the ball down towards the floor, and a reaction force pushing the ball up away from the floor.
What is the resistance or drag you encounter when you pull an object across the floor?
This resistance is officially known as friction.

What causes unbalanced forces?
you are not considering the "hidden" force of friction and/or gravity in your thinking. Example: A box sitting at rest on a floor has balanced forces: no force pushing from any of the four sides Balance force up and down (gravity pulling box down, floor holding it up) Now, someone pushes the box across the floor: Initial push causes and acceleration (going from zero velocity to say 5 mph) Now, if that person maintained the 5 mph speed (no acceleration) of pushing the box then we are back to a balanced force: the pushing on the side of the box = the friction on the bottom of the box. Unbalanced forces can cause an object move from its original position resulting in acceleration because every object in the universe has an internal force [resisting force] in it . when an external force applied on an object increases from that of the internal force of the object then that force is said to be unbalanced force

Which Newtons law of motion can explain what happens when someone pushes a chair across the floor?
It will have no equilibruim and when you are pushing it you are using a force

What is the predicate in this sentence The baby crawls across the floor?
The predicate in this sentence is across the floor. :)
What is the force in N that is needed when 160J of work is needed to move an object 8m across a floor?
20N
Which task requires more effort pushing a 1-kg box across an ordinary floor or pushing a 2000-kg box across a frictionless floor?
If there is no air resistance moving the 2000-kg box would cost virtually no effort since the slightest shove would set it into motion which it would continue indefinably. Pushing the 1-kg box would require a constant investment of effort because you need to combat the force of friction. Thus, pushing the 1-kg box around is more tiresome.
