What friction force acts between a refrigerator and the floor when the fridge is pushed?

Friction opposes motion so the friction force will be in the direction opposite to that in which the fridge is pushed.

What happens to the water between the grains when they are pushed together?
If the question has to do with the environmental process of soil liquefaction, the water between the grains stays were it is, which causes the soil grains to lose friction and therefore makes it act as a liquid.
If a book is pushed by 10N and the friction is 8N what is the resultant force?
In fact, there is an infinite number of answers because force is a vector, meaning that it has a magnitude and an orientation. For example, if someone pushes horizontaly onto the book (10N) and the friction is 8N in the opposite direction, the resultant force is 2N. But if the book is pushed at an angle, the resultant force changes.
If a stone is pushed from the top of the hill what kind of energy would it have halfway down the hill?
It would have an almost equal balance between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. The discrepancy comes from energy lost as heat via friction with the air and ground.
Where does the earth stop?
No, the spin of the earth is slowing (due to tidal friction with the moon) and the moon is being pushed further away all the time but the earth will not stop spinning. Also the earth orbits the Sun and this will continue as well.
Is moving a loaded cart a push or pull force?
It can be either. Horse-drawn carts are virtually all pulled. Library and shopping carts are pushed. However, any pulling or pushing force that is exerted includes a pushing force against the ground (i.e. friction).
When two objects are placed together horizontally is there friction between them?
If they are touching yes and the harder they are being pushed together the greater the friction.
When a box is being pushed across a floor what acts between the box and the floor?
kinetic friction
What friction keeps a wagon from rolling until it is pushed?
Static Friction
How does the food in a fridge cool down?
When you plug in your fridge, the electricity energises the freon in the copper piping, which then spreads all over the fridge cooling it down. The biggest pipes are at the top, which pushes cold air to the bottom. Doing so, the warm air is in turn pushed up and when it gets to the top, it is cooled by the pipes. The process is then repeated over and over and over. This is how the food is cooled in a fridge xxx
What kind of friction shown in a pushed chair?
Escherichia coli , salmonella, Staphylococcus
What type of friction would be used to cause a book to slow down and stop when pushed?
Sliding friction causes a book to slow down and stop when pushed. ------- Might also be known as dynamic friction.
What causes an object to slow down after no longer being pushed?
friction
Is there friction on an air hockey table?
yes and no, It depends on what type of friction. it has no friction with the table, but it does have friction from the air being pushed from beneath. What slows the puck down the most is air resistance
Which best explains why a box pushed across the floor will slow down?
friction
What type of friction has the most friction?
Static friction is the force that is the greatest. This is because it opposes motion the strongest between the various types of friction.
What happens to the water between the grains when they are pushed together?
If the question has to do with the environmental process of soil liquefaction, the water between the grains stays were it is, which causes the soil grains to lose friction and therefore makes it act as a liquid.
Why will a pendulum stop if not pushed?
It will lose energy over time - mainly due to friction.
