Help please :((((

Four movers pushed different boxes across a floor for the same distance. The table shows how much force each mover used, the time it took to move the box, and the mass of the
box.

Force Time. Mass of box
Akira: 155 5 15
Maddie: 120 10 15
Jayden: 90 3 18
Hamid: 160 10 22


Please help!!! I really need to pass this class!

Box A will be traveling faster at the given distance due to the greater force applied.

In order to determine which box is traveling faster, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Since the mass of both boxes is equal, we can compare the forces to determine the acceleration.

Box A has a horizontal force three times that of Box B, so it will have three times the acceleration. Therefore, Box A will be traveling faster at the given distance.

A force that is applied to an item by someone or something else is called an applied force. An applied force is being applied to the desk if someone is moving it across the room. The force that the individual applies to the desk is known as the applied force.

the unique type of frictional force experienced by any item travelling through air. Tension force: The force generated when an object stretches a rope or string. The force that a spring experiences when an object attached to it compresses or stretches it is known as the spring force.
