How is friction involved in trying to move something too heavy?

Well friction is caused by two things rubbing against each other (like rubbing your hands together and they get warm is an example of friction) so if you tried to move something to heavy you might end up dragging it and then it would be rubbing (scraping) against another surface thus creating friction.

What are examples of sliding friction?
Examples of SLIDING FRICTION is pushing a heavy rock in your path, or moving a box on the floor.
What is the song playing on the BBC trailer for Wild Arabia?
The heavy? Something like that
How do you touch my older sister when she is sleep?
First you say tht there is a mouse or something just to see how a heavy sleeper they are and then go for it real slow
How should you hook up a 30A switch?
30A switch for what? Are you trying to switch a dryer? Are you wiring a heavy-duty disconnect for an air-conditioner or a spa? Please explain what you are trying to do. This question smacks strongly of ignorance. Hire an electrician if wiring a switch is outside of your skill set, espacially if you are switching high current loads.
What actors and actresses appeared in Meet the Heavy - 2007?
The cast of Meet the Heavy - 2007 includes: Gary Schwartz as Heavy Weapons Guy
When can friction be unuseful?
This could be harmful when you are trying to move something heavy and it doesn't move.
Why a heavy object does not falle faster than a light object?
When heavy objects roll down something, fricition is involved. Friction is made by the rubbing of one thing against the other. Try rubbing your hands together reallly fast. Do your hands feel warm? Heavy objects have more friction, which slows down the heavy object. Lighter objects have less friction which cause it to run faster.
Does friction occur when there are balanced forces?
Yes, friction can be involved, as one of the forces. For example, if I push against this heavy desk in front of mine with a force of 100N, and it doesn't budge, that means there is a contrary force of 100N. That force, of course, is friction.
What is friction what are four types of friction?
Friction is most commonly known as any push or pull. There are four types of friction ; sliding friction, static friction, rolling friction, and fluid friction. Sliding friction is when something is sliding against another surface. Static friction is when there is force being applied upon a heavy object or the object is being moved on a rough surface. Rolling friction is when something is rolling on a surface and friction slows it down. Finally, fluid friction is when an object is being slown down on or in water, air, or any others fluid.
When You Push On A Heavy Desk And It Doesnt Move What Forces Are Preventing You From Moving It?
friction forces
What is a bad example of friction?
Pushing a heavy rock
Why do workers have to push heavy boxes on carts with wheels?
rolling friction is less than sliding friction
What are examples of sliding friction?
Examples of SLIDING FRICTION is pushing a heavy rock in your path, or moving a box on the floor.
What kind of friction opposes your push when you are unable to move a heavy piece of furniture across the floor?
kinetic friction
What role does friction play when moving a heavy object?
It can make moving heavy objects easier for example sliding friction you can slide it or rolling friction you can roll the object across some kind of round cylinders or even fluid friction with water running under the object can make it easier.
Does adding wheels to a heavy object increase or decrease friction?
decreas
What force would you need to use if there was 550g in a box?
The kind of force you will need to use a 550g box is a push and a pull and also that is when friction comes in too because it is just not about the forces because friction is based on force's the kind of friction that will come in is the sliding friction,rubbing friction,and static friction reason is because when a box is that heavy you just cant pick it up there has to be some kind of friction that comes into play so there will be some sliding across the ground and so rubbing also.Also fluid comes in when involved with water and other things
