A crate remains at rest on a factory floor while you push on it with a horizontal force F How big is the friction force exerted on the crate by the floor?
Friction force = -F The crate is at rest, so all forces must be balanced
Once the crate is sliding how hard do you push to keep is moving at constant valocity?
You need to push as much as the force of friction is.
What is the friction force if a crate is at rest on the surface and a horizontal force of 50N is applied to it?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so if you push on a crate, the crate pushes back with a normal force equal to the force exerted. Thus, expect a force of 50 N to push back at you. However, if you meant the normal force of the ground exerted on the box, then that would included the 50 N force and the weight of the crate.
Why is it easier to push a crate over smooth concrete sidewalks than over grass?
There's less friction over a smooth concrete sidewalk
Why increase friction?
You would increase friction so that you wouldn't slip, by using the brakes on your car of bike you increase friction to stop yourself. Hikers increase friction between their feet and the ground by wearing hiking shoes that grip the ground better. Tires on cars that create more friction make the car go faster, because instead of sliding, the tires grip the ground and push off.
If you push on a heavy crate to the right and it slides what is the direction of friction on the crate?
The direction of friction on the crate is opposite to the direction in which it is sliding. In this case, since you are pushing the crate to the right, the friction will act to the left in order to oppose the motion.

Suppose you exert a horizontal push on a crate that rests on a level floor and it doesn't move How much friction acts compared with your push?
If the crate doesn't move, then the forces on it are balanced, and they add up to zero.The force of friction is equal to the force of your push, and acts in the opposite direction.Neither you nor the friction does any work.Note that as long as this is going on, these statements are all true regardless of whetherthe floor is level or sloped.

A rectangular crate weighing 40kg is too hard for Johnny to push due to friction If instead of laying flat the crate was standing up on end would it be easier for Johnny to push?
I do not believe it would be easier to push do to the fact the crate would then be top heavy and would have the tendency to tip over easily. Unless the center of gravity was towards the bottom and Johnny was pushing at the bottom.

If you push something west what direction does friction push?
friction pushes east
Describe the factors that cause static friction between two surfaces to increase.?
A higher coefficient of static friction increases the static frictional force. A greater normal force also does this.
How can you make the friction force arrow longer?
Increase the normal force, or push down on it more (add more weight). friction = μ normal force μ is the coefficient of friction which is different for different surfaces
