O A. Less force will be needed to move the box in Situation 2.
O B. Less force will be needed to move the box in Situation 1.
O C. More force will be needed to move the box in Situation 2.
OD. It will take the same amount of force to move both boxes.

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Less force will be needed because situation 2 is at an inclined plane which makes it wasier to move. To move situation 1, you would need more force.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. Less force will be needed to move the box in Situation 2.

Explanation:

Situation 1 requires more force to push the box straight up against gravity. Situation 2 does not require the box to be pushed directly against gravity, therefore requiring less force.
