(a)
(b)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now if two men push this heavy box in same direction, it become much easier to move the heavy box because when the two men apply their forces of push together in the same direction, the two forces adds up to provide a much bigger force. And this bigger force can move the heavy object very easily.

Explanation:

two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces. This always results in a stronger force than either of the individual forces alone
