Answer:

(A) The force would be lower on the school day than the weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a school day the bus is on the road travelling with kids. But in a weekend it is parked. When a object stays still that means the the force which is working on the earth by the bus is equal to the force which works on the bus by the earth. we can understand it clearly by, Newton's second law of motion.

This pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. so as it is when it is balanced it is not moving.

And on a school day the bus is moving so it has a force pulling itself forward . so it means that the force which the bus has is greater than the gravitational force.
