Question

Give reason: it is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books.

Answer 1

It is quite difficult to push a box full of books as compared to the empty box since the mass of the book is quite large.

Therefore it induces frictional force and causes problems for the people. Empty box is devoid of mass; hence the reactionary force would be less resulting in minimum effort from the individual.

Answer 2

Answer:

Heavier objects have more inertia than lighter objects. So, inertia of an object depends on its mass. Thus, the box filled with books has more inertia than the empty box due to which it it is easier to push an empty box than a box full of books.
