What is the force between two surfaces that are sliding or trying to slide across one another called?
friction
If a force is required to pull a 20 kg box across a carpeted floor what is typically true about another force required to pull the box across the ice at a rink?
Pulling a box across ice requires less force than pushing the same box across carpet. This is due to the amount of friction between the carpet and box and the lack of friction between the ice and the box.
What is the force created when an object rolls over a surfaces?
Kinetic friction is any friction between objects that are in contact and have relative motion. The specific term for objects that roll across other objects is aptly called rolling friction. Rolling friction exerts its force in the opposite direction of its motion.
What type of friction do you have to overcome to make a book move across a desk?
Static friction
What is the type of friction you can observe when you slide books across a table top?
kinetic friction
How does friction forces affect snowboarding?
This question is unclear...let's assume you are comparing a snowboard to a pair of skis, the snowboard usually creates more friction. This is why you see snowboarders clomping along on flat sections, while a skier may glide right through the flat. When ridden specifically on edge, however, a single edge of a snowboard will create less friction than two long skis on edge. In this manner, snowboards can go from creating a lot of friction to almost instantly creating very little. Also, a snowboard ridden straight will create less friction than skis that are angled across the slope, as in a snowplow or a skidded turn. On the other hand, a snowboard turned across the fall line can create an incredible amount of friction, such as when a novice boarder turns the board sideways to go very slowly down a hill that exceeds their ability. Also the wax on your board will change the amount of friction
Gliding across the on a frozen lake in special shoe is known as what?
Skating
When a box is being pushed across a floor what acts between the box and the floor?
kinetic friction

Is it true that surface currents in the ocean develop from the friction between the ocean and the wind that blows across its surface?
Yes it is true.

Friction:)
Friction is defined as?
Friction is a force that opposes motion. As you drive a car along an expressway, the friction from air pushes back against your direction of motion. Also, the friction between your tires and the road (rolling friction) pushes back in the opposite direction of your motion.
