Question

Use the drawing below to answer the following question.

1 kg
10 kg
20 kg
50 kg
All of the boxes shown above can slide easily. Which box will move farthest if each is
struck with the same amount of force?
A.
the 1-kg box
B. the 10-kg box
C. the 20-kg box
D. the 50-kg box

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Force = mass x acceleration

if the force is constant for each of the boxes, the smaller a boxes mass the greater its acceleration while the force is applied

Therefore the smaller box will have a greater initial velocity and will slide the furthest before it stops.
