Why it is easier to walk on a carpeted floor than on polished smooth surface?
1. It is easier to push a heavy object on a polished wooden because then the box will be easier to push across the floor.
When will the frictional force be greater than the force of you pushing a box across a table?
When the box is too heavy or the table too rough.
What kind of friction opposes your push when you are unable to move a heavy piece of furniture across the floor?
kinetic friction
How can you move a large heavy box across the floor?
The best thing to do is just slide it. That will be easier than trying to lift it, especially if you only need to get across a room
To push a heavy box up a ramp into a moving van what could be used to decrease the force of friction?
Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor. use round objects, like pencils, to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator oover the pencils more easily

Why is it easier to slide a cardboard box when it is empty compared to when it is full of heavy books?
It is easier to slide an empty cardboard box because it has less mass and therefore less inertia, making it lighter and easier to move. When the box is filled with heavy books, it has more mass and inertia, making it more difficult to slide due to the increased resistance to motion.
How many ways can you think of to move a large heavy box across the floor?
you can push pull slide drag lift use a cart some tools
What force is used to move a heavy book across a tabletop at a constant speed?
Enough force to overcome the frictional force between the book and the table. This force divided by the weight of the book is a ratio, usually less than one, called the coefficient of friction.
Do most carpet cleaning companies expect you to move furniture before they get there?
It is recommended, prior to the cleaning company's visit, that you move all moveable furniture. If items are extremely large, heavy, or bolted to the floor, it is not necessary to move them. Also, pre-vaccuum the carpet in the areas you're planning to have cleaned, as a courtesy.
