Why is a greater force needed to move a refrigerator than it's needed to move a book?

The formula for force is Force= Mass x Acceleration. Therefore, you have to use a greater force to move the refrigerator because it has a greater mass than the book.

Why would it require greater force to start a refrigerator moving than to start a book moving?
the force (F) to move is the coefficient of friction(u) times the normal force, or weight(W). F = uWSince the weight of the fridge is much more than the book it takes more force to move it
The greater the mass of an object the?
Greater the gravitational force it exerts on another object.
What factors might affect the force needed to drag a book?
Friction, the weight of the books, the number of books, the steepness of the surface that the book is being dragged on
Would a book falling off a table be a balanced force?
The force of gravity causes a book to fall, but someone has to push it to the edge of the desk, or off the desk so that the force of gravity is greater than the normal force acting on the book.
If you push horizontally on your book with a force of 1 N to make the book slide at constant velocity how much is the force of friction on the book?
No

Why is more force needed to slide a large book across the table then to slide a small book across the table?
A large book has more mass, which requires more force to be moved.
Why is more force needed to slide a large book across a table then to slide a small book across the same table?
A large book has more mass, which requires more force to be moved.

What is the ISBN of The Greater Journey book?
The ISBN of The Greater Journey - book - is 1416571760.
Think Critically A book sliding across a table slows down and comes to a stop Explain whether the forces acting acting on the book are balanced or unbalanced.?
The forces are unbalanced. The force of Friction is obviously greater than whatever force is pushing the book in the direction of travel, if one is pushing it at all. If the forces on the book were balanced, the book would continue to slide with a constant velocity.
How many pages does The Greater Journey - book - have?
The Greater Journey - book - has 576 pages.
When was The Greater Journey - book - created?
The Greater Journey - book - was created on 2011-05-24.
How do you use on the and in the in a sentences?
Put the book on the table.Put the book in the box.Put the car in the garage. (not on)Put my purse on the refrigerator. (not in)When you put the cheese in the refrigerator, did you put it on the Jello?
Could someone help me with this problem.. Find the coefficient of friction that is needed to keep a 1kg book from sliding down a 30 degree ramp?
book = 1kg, then force down slope = 1*sin 30 = 0.5 kg force of book on surface = 1*cos 30 = 0.866kg 0.5/0.866 = 0.577
