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

What is the force that prevents a heavy box from sliding along the floor when you push on it?

The force that prevents a heavy box from sliding along the floor when you push on it is friction. Friction is the resistance force that occurs when two surfaces come into contact with each other. It acts in the opposite direction of the applied force, creating a “grip” that keeps the box from sliding.

1 what force prevents a heavy box from sliding along the floor when you push on it?

Sliding Friction If you push hard enough on the cardboard box filled with books, it will start sliding. If you stop pushing after the box starts sliding, it will slow down and stop. The force that acted on the box to slow it down was sliding friction. Sliding friction is the force that opposes the motion of two sliding surfaces in contact. Sliding friction exists between all sliding surfaces that are touching, such as the surfaces of the moving parts in a car's engine.


If you push a box until it moves is it unbalanced or balanced?

If you push a box until it moves, the forces are unbalanced. Your push overcomes the force of friction between the box and the ground, causing the box to accelerate in the direction of your push.
