19.

Picking up a heavy box is much more difficult than putting it down. What is a likely explanation for this?

a)

Pushing force is more difficult to accomplish than pulling force.

b)

The force of gravity acts against you when you try to push something to the ground.

c)

The action is less difficult because nothing is pulling the object toward the ground.

d)

The force of gravity is pulling the box toward the ground which makes the action of putting the box down easier to do.

20.

The force of friction was less on the left so the box moved to the right. What can be said about the effect of the force being applied by the above student on the left?

a)

The force of magnetism was greater on the left so the box moved to the right.

b)

The pull of gravity was greater on the right so the box moved to the right.

c)

The pushing force was greater on the left so the box moved to the right.

d)

The force of friction was less on the left so the box moved to the right.
