Static Friction
The friction that opposes your push is static friction. This type of friction occurs when two objects are in contact but not moving relative to each other. As you apply force to try to move the furniture, the static friction force prevents the furniture from sliding.
Rolling friction is being used when movers put a heavy piece of furniture on wheels to move it. Rolling friction occurs when an object rolls over a surface, reducing the resistance between the two surfaces compared to sliding friction.
A piece of sand paper on a piece of wood is an prime example of rubbing friction.
A large and heavy piece of furniture, such as a solid wood armoire or a piano, will have the most inertia and give furniture movers the most difficulty in moving due to its mass and resistance to changes in motion.
Rubbing an eraser against a piece of paper creates friction, which generates heat. The friction between the eraser and paper causes kinetic energy to convert to thermal energy, resulting in the warm feeling you experience.
Static Friction
"static"
that would be static friction. Static friction is the maximum amount of force that you can apply to an object before it moves. hope this helped!

A piece of furniture to eat on is a table.
There are separate answers for each part of this situation: 1. As the mover lifts the piece of furniture to the dolly, s/he will probably use a normal force (no friction) against the bottom of the piece, while at the same time pressing and lifting against the side of the piece, which would require static friction. 2. As the mover pushes the piece of furniture on the dolly across the floor, s/he would probably use only a normal force against the side of the piece (no friction), but there might be some static friction force involved if s/he is pushing at an angle against the piece. 3. As the piece of furniture moves with the dolly under it, it is pressing down on the dolly with a normal force and using static friction to bring the dolly along in the same direction the piece is moving. 4. As the dolly frame presses down on the axle of each wheel, it exerts a normal force on the bearing of the axle. There is probably no friction force involved. 5. As the axle turns within the bearing, there is a combination of static and kinetic friction as the ball bearings turn and slip inside the bearing. 6. As the wheel presses down on the floor, the floor presses up on the wheel with the same amount of normal force. The static friction force from the floor pulls back on the surface of the wheel at the point of contact and causes the wheel to turn.
The singular form of "furniture" is "piece of furniture."
