Julie and Ashwin were doing an experiment in the classroom. They
each had to move a 15 kg box. Julie was able to move her box, but
Ashwin was only able to move his after removing half the items in the
box. Which is true regarding the force he applies after removing the
items from the box?
A. He has to apply the same amount of force to the box to overcome gravity.
B. He has to apply less force to lift the box because the mass has decreased.
C. He has to apply a different type of force of the changing the mass.
D. He has to apply more force to lift the box because the mass is greater

Please answer ASAP

Respuesta :

B, he has to apply less force to lift the box because the mass has decreased.

The equation for force is
F=ma

If m is decreased by half, then f decreases as well. It takes less force to push a lighter object across the floor.

Answer:

B). He has to apply less force to lift the box because the mass has decreased.
