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.
What else can I help you with?
Which exerts more pressure on the ground a empty cardboard box or the same piece of cardboard after it has been flattened for recycling?
The empty cardboard box exerts more pressure on the ground because its weight is distributed over a smaller surface area compared to the same piece of cardboard that has been flattened. When flattened, the weight of the cardboard is spread out over a larger area, resulting in less pressure.
How does an empty cardboard box float?
An empty cardboard box can float because of its shape and the material it is made of—cardboard is lightweight and has air pockets that provide buoyancy. When placed in water, the box displaces water equal to its weight, allowing it to float.
Is it easier to squeeze a bottle full of water or an empty bottle?
It is easier to squeeze an empty bottle because there is less resistance from the air inside the bottle compared to the water. The water in a full bottle creates more pressure and resistance when you try to squeeze it.
Are empty collapsed cardboard boxes in the attic a fire hazard?
NO
Can empty milk containers into the garbage disposal?
No. The cardboard in milk cartons contain plastic, and your disposal won't enjoy the cardboard.
Does an empty cardboard box sink or float?
It will float until the cardboard becomes saturated and eventually sinks.
What is empty space compared too?
Empty space is a vacuum.
Which exerts more pressure on the ground an empty cardboard box or the same piece of carboard after it has been flatened for recycling and why?
The empty cardboard box exerts more pressure on the ground because its weight is concentrated on the bottom. When the cardboard is flattened for recycling, its weight is distributed over a larger area, reducing the pressure exerted on the ground.
Why is it easier to push a toy chest along the floor when it is empty than when it is full?
It is easier to push a toy chest along the floor when it is empty because the weight is significantly reduced, resulting in less friction between the chest and the floor. The force required to overcome this friction is lower when the chest is lighter. Additionally, an empty chest has less inertia, making it easier to initiate and maintain motion compared to a full one, which is heavier and more cumbersome.
Where do you get a flat empty soda box?
Use a cardboard box! Save the Earth! RECYCLE! ?
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.
Do empty cardboard boxes attract roaches?
When I was raising German cockroaches for insecticide resistance in the Navy, I used cardboard. The little ones like to hide and the corrugated parts of the cardboard were perfect for that. So, yes, I guess it is attractive as a harborage. The less you have the better.
