Why does it take more force to slid a heavy box across carpet that it does to slide it across a tiled floor?
It takes more force to slide a heavy box across carpet compared to a tiled floor because carpet provides more resistance due to its higher coefficient of friction. The rough texture of the carpet surface increases the friction between the box and the carpet, making it harder to move the box. On the other hand, the smooth surface of the tile floor reduces friction, requiring less force to slide the box.
When you slide a box across the floor what force must your push be stronger than?
The force of friction between the box and the floor. This force opposes the motion of the box and must be overcome by the pushing force to make the box slide.
Why it is easier to walk on a carpeted floor than on polished smooth surface?
1. It is easier to push a heavy object on a polished wooden because then the box will be easier to push across the floor.
What causes a box you are pushing across the floor to stop when to stop pushing?
Static Friction
A box fails to slide down a ramp at a warehouse. What happens if you put the box on a cart that has wheels?
If the box is placed on a cart with wheels, the friction between the box and the ramp is replaced by the rolling friction between the wheels and the floor. This reduces the resistance and allows the box to move more easily down the ramp. The wheels on the cart reduce the surface area in contact with the floor, decreasing friction and enabling movement.

Why is it harder to push a box across a carpet floor than a smooth floor?
Because of the friction in the carpet fibers.

What type of friction is pushing a box along the floor?
The type of friction pushing a box along the floor is kinetic friction. This frictional force opposes the motion of the box and arises between the box and the floor due to their contact and relative motion.
Why is it easier to slide a cardboard box when it is empty compared to when it is full of heavy books?
The amount of horizontal force needed to keep a box sliding along a horizontal floor is equal to the product of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor and the normal force pushing up on the box from the floor, which is equal to the weight of the box. As long as the characteristics of the box and the floor remain the same (neither is polished, lubricated, etc.), the coefficient of kinetic friction remains constant. Therefore, the horizontal force needed to keep the box moving across the floor is directly proportional to the weight of the box.
When a box is being pushed across a floor what acts between the box and the floor?
kinetic friction
Is there more friction between a heavy wooden box on the floor or a light wooden box on the floor?
There would be more friction between the heavy wooden box and the floor than the light wooden box. This is because the friction force is directly proportional to the weight of the object pressing down on the surface, which in this case is the weight of the box. The heavier box would exert more pressure on the floor, resulting in greater friction.
Give an example of sliding friction?
Sliding your hands together is an example of sliding friction.
Why is it more difficult to push a box on the floor from rest?
It is more difficult to push a box on the floor from rest because of static friction. When an object is at rest, static friction between the box and the floor prevents it from moving easily. This friction must be overcome by applying a greater force to start the box moving.
