Answer:

it is easier to kick a stone than to drag a stone.

Step-by-step explanation:

the science behind the question is fairly simple.

when you kick and object for say a (rock) you have inertia which is made from you clocking your leg back and swinging it full force forward. when you kick with inertia, you will have a much further travel distance of the object rather than dragging it which is almost set at a certain rate of how fast you are moving (m) and how much inertia you are using by pulling (p)

so m+p=i for inertia. hope this helped
