Sliding is made difficult by friction because rough surfaces "grab" whatever is attempting to slide. Sledding is easy because snow eases friction.

Who makes air force ones?
Who makes Air Force Ones, Boeing.
Was the haiti earthquake on a conservative plate boundary?
Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.
What layer of the Earth makes up the tectonic plates and what layer are the continents sliding on?
The continents of the Earth are sliding through the asthenosphere. This is the viscous part of the mantle on which the plates of the lithosphere sit.
What force makes cold water sink toward the ocean floor?
gravity
The Victorians' well-known historical makes them a difficult people and culture to fully understand?
silence
What is the force that makes it easy to walk on the floor without sliding?
friction
Is friction in same direction of force?
This question is ambiguous. It depends on what force you are comparing the friction force with. Friction, itself, is a force, which will be directed in a direction OPPOSITE the sliding or attempted sliding of two surfaces.
What is The force that makes it difficult to push objects?
fricion
What is the force makes it difficult to climb a steep mountain?
Gravity.
What makes it difficult to push a book along the floor?
Friction is the force that makes it difficult to push an object along many surfaces.
What serves to hold objects from sliding are the benefits of force?
friction is a good force that stops things from sliding
What is the definition of sliding friction?
The definition of sliding friction is the force that prevents a sliding object from moving.
Why does sliding large books take more force than sliding small books?
Sliding large books requires more force than sliding small books because larger books have more mass and surface area, leading to increased friction with the surface they are sliding on. This increased friction makes it harder to overcome the resistance and slide the large books.
In which case do you need smaller force and why (a)rolling (b)sliding?
KH
What is the equation for sliding friction?
fk = uk*N Where fk = force of kinetic (sliding) friction uk = kinetic frictional coefficient (dependent on 2 materials sliding past each other) N = normal force (force being exerted perpendicular to the surface across which the object is 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.
What determines the amount of sliding friction?
the ammount of force and the surface the object is sliding against
