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.
Yes, friction can make it difficult to move a heavy object over a flat surface because friction is a force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion. This force resists the movement of the object, making it harder to push or pull. Increasing the weight of the object or the roughness of the surface leads to higher friction and increased difficulty in moving the object.
The force that prevents a heavy box from sliding along the floor when you push on it is friction. Friction is the resistance force that occurs when two surfaces come into contact with each other. It acts in the opposite direction of the applied force, creating a “grip” that keeps the box from sliding.
friction forces
It can make moving heavy objects easier for example sliding friction you can slide it or rolling friction you can roll the object across some kind of round cylinders or even fluid friction with water running under the object can make it easier.
Pushing a heavy rock
The best types of kitchen cabinet drawer slides to use for smooth and efficient operation are ball-bearing slides or undermount slides. These slides provide a smooth gliding motion and can handle heavy loads, making them ideal for kitchen cabinets.
This question can be answered by considering law of consrevation of momentum, m1v1=m2v2. If a person pushes an object double his weight he will be sent with double the velocity in the opposite direction. on earth the person transfers the shoch to the ground so he doesnt move. that's why its hard to move heavy objects in space.
Examples of SLIDING FRICTION is pushing a heavy rock in your path, or moving a box on the floor.
tunes of danger it can make flods and mud slides and much more
Since the crate and the Porsche are falling at the same rate due to gravity (assuming no air resistance), the crate will crash onto the Porsche when it reaches the ground. The time taken for the crate to fall and crash will depend on the height from which it fell and the gravitational acceleration.
An example of unuseful friction is when trying to push a heavy object on a rough surface where the friction makes it difficult to move the object smoothly.
