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?

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


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


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?

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.
