Question

Explain why it is easier to push a lighter than a similar heavy box on the same floor ?

Answer 1

It is easier to push a light box than a similar heavy box because it have less mass and weight in comparison to heavy box and it needs less force to push.....

Answer 2

We can push a lighter box easily than a heavy box on the same floor because of friction. The heavier the object, the more friction is applied, thus making it difficult to push a heavier box. People experience more frictional force when pushing a heavy box and less frictional force when pushing a lighter box on the same type of floor.
