does friction help with the moving of the box, or does it make it more difficult? friction always make things easier to move. friction always make things more dificult to move. rewatch submit
Friction is a force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact. While in some cases like walking (where friction between feet and ground helps in moving forward), in the context of moving a box on a flat - surface, it generally resists the motion of the box. But it's not always the case that friction makes things more difficult to move as in the example of walking. However, for simple box - moving on a flat surface without special mechanisms, friction usually makes it more difficult to move.
