When you push a box but it doesn't move, it means that the force you apply is not enough to overcome the static friction between the box and the surface it's on. Increasing the force or reducing the friction (e.g. by using lubrication) can help move the box.

What happens if you push on a box with equal force?

If you push on a box with equal force in the opposite direction, the box will not move. The forces cancel each other out, resulting in a state of equilibrium.

If you push on a box and are unable to move it what force opposes your push static friction air resistance rolling friction sliding friction?

Static friction is the force that opposes your push when you are unable to move the box. This type of friction occurs when there is no relative motion between the surfaces in contact.


When you push a box across floor n the box resists your push what horizontal force is resisting you?

The horizontal force resisting your push when you push a box across a floor is the force of friction between the box and the floor. This force acts in the opposite direction to the direction in which you are pushing the box.


Is pushing a box but it doesn't move unbalanced or balanced force?

Pushing a box that doesn't move indicates an unbalanced force. If the force of friction opposing the push is greater than the force you are exerting, the box will not move. In this case, the forces are unbalanced.


Explain why it is easier to push an empty box than a box fall of books?

An empty box has less mass and therefore requires less force to move it. On the other hand, a box full of books has more mass, making it heavier and harder to push because it requires more force to overcome inertia.


If you push a box forward and the box moves forward you have done work.?

Work, more specifically "positive" work because the box moved in the direction in which the force was applied.

If you push a box until it moves is it unbalanced or balanced?

If you push a box until it moves, the forces are unbalanced. Your push overcomes the force of friction between the box and the ground, causing the box to accelerate in the direction of your push.


When you push on a stationary object and it doesnt move what kind of force is most likely opposing your efforts?

Friction is the force most likely opposing your efforts when you push on a stationary object and it doesn't move. Friction exists between surfaces in contact and resists the motion of objects.
