In the Tough Man Competition, very strong men are challenged to push or pull extremely large and heavy objects to test their strength. In one such challenge, they were asked to push one of two rail cars, an engine car and a box car. The data tables show one man’s results. Look over the data table and answer the questions below.
A. Why couldn't the strong man move the box car with a force of 3000 Newtons? Make sure to include Newton's 2nd Law in your explanation.
B. What could be done to move the boxcar?
C. Another student claims that during the competition, the sum of the forces on the boxcar was 0 N. What evidence is the student using to make this claim? Be sure to explain your thinking.
