( please, do not comment if you do not know the answer, I will give Brianlist ) Please complete the following:

1. You and Tim, who is larger than you are outside with a wagon. Tim (the bigger person) gets in the wagon and you (the smaller one) pull it. As you pull
it, you accelerate until you reach a comfortable velocity. Then you stop and switch places with Tim. Tim now pulls you in the wagon, accelerating
from a stop to a comfortable velocity. Now, Tim may be bigger than you, but you have been working out and are just as strong as Tim, so the force
that Tim uses to pull the wagon is the same force that you used. You both pull with the exact same amount of force. Who was riding in the wagon
when it had the greatest acceleration during start up? Why? Use Newton's second law to explain.
2. Now Sara comes along, and she is the exact same size as you. However, she is even stronger than you! When she pulls you in the wagon, she pulls
with a greater force than when you pull her. Now who is in the wagon when it has the greatest acceleration? Explain, using Newton's second law.

Answer:

2. Sarah

Step-by-step explanation:

because she is stronger, she is able to pull faster and easier because of the amount of weight she can carry vs the amount of weight you can carry. Although you are the same height, she has more muscle.
