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.
What force is needed to slide a wooden block having a mass of 300 slugs moving across a floor if the friction is 0.80?
coefficient of friction = force required to move it / mass 0.8 = f / 300 0.8 * 300 = f 240(slugs) = f
What do you call a very large slide of snow?
i think it's GLacier...Or it could be you're thinking of an avalanche: it's what happens when a large mass of snow is dislodged from a mountain slope or peak and cascades downward with great speed and force.
Why do ice skates have sharp edges even though it creates a large pressure on ice and damage the ice skating ring?
B/c the sharp edge is needed to provide control and forward motion. w/o the edge the skates would just as happily slide sideways across the ice which would make controlled skating slow, and close to impossible.
If the friction equals the force why the object moves. why it doesn't stop?
Friction force is equal to the force applied only when the object is not moving or it is just beginning to slide. Once the object has started motion completely, it means that the force applied has exceeded the frictional force

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.
Why is more force needed to slide a larger book across a table than to slide a small book across the same table?
Gravity - and friction. The larger book has more gravity - holding it own onto the desk. Friction stops the book sliding sideways.
How could a unbalance force work on a chair at rest on the floor to make it slide across the room?
you can push is across

Why does it take more force to slid a heavy box across carpet that it does to slide it across a tiled floor?
The carpet provides more friction
Can a cuboid slide and roll?
It can slide if there is enough force to overcome static friction. Similarly, it can roll if the force is great enough to impart a sufficiently large turning moment (and maintain it).
What is the force between surfaces that are sliding or trying to slide across one another is called?
Friction i do believe
What is the force between two surfaces that are sliding or trying to slide across one another called?
friction
What is an unbalanced fprce?
An unbalance force is one that is not opposed by an equal and opposite force operating directly against the force. Examples of unbalanced force are when you kick a ball, or slide furniture across the floor.

i wish i knew how
When you push a penny across a table the penny will slide and eventually come to a stop what force brings the penny to a stop?
FRICTION
