What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when you stop pushing?
Static Friction
What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when to stop pushing?
Static Friction
Which describes how sliding friction affects pushing a cereal box a tabletop?
it is usually greater than static friction
What happens to a box when the pushing force is is bigger than the friction force?
Nothing
What force is pushing back keeping the box from moving?
Well, depending on which way you are pushing, it could be one of three forces. If you are pushing along a table, then it is friction that is preventing the box from moving (or more accurately, static friction). If you are pushing the box down into the table, then it is the normal force that is at work. If you are pushing into the air, then it is gravity.

What force is pushing back by keeping the box from moving?
static friction
What are examples of sliding friction?
Examples of SLIDING FRICTION is pushing a heavy rock in your path, or moving a box on the floor.

Nothing
Why is it hard to push an heavy box?
it has to do with gravity, weight, friction, torque, and force..... simply put your lateral force (pushing from the side) has to exceed the friction caused by the box and the surface its on
Which describes how sliding friction affects pushing a cereal box across a tabletop?
As you push a cereal box across a tabletop, the sliding friction acting on the cereal box acts in the direction opposite of motion.
What force is pushing back keeping the box from moving?
Well, depending on which way you are pushing, it could be one of three forces. If you are pushing along a table, then it is friction that is preventing the box from moving (or more accurately, static friction). If you are pushing the box down into the table, then it is the normal force that is at work. If you are pushing into the air, then it is gravity.
What type of friction is making it difficult to start moving the box?
Static Friction
Think critically three students are pushing on a box under what conditions will the motion of the box change?
If the students overcome the boxes static friction.
How does friction help inertia?
without friction, there wouldn't really be any inertia. according to wikipedia, "Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest." For example, if you were trying to push a heavy box across the floor, the friction from the floor would prevent you from pushing it easily, and its inertia would also prevent it from moving. Basically, the friction is making it stick to the floor and not be able to move easily.
