reduce the mass of the box increase the mass of the box make the surfaces of the box smooth make the surface of the floor smooth
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: A force of 5 N is required to increase the speed of a box from a rate of 1.0 m/s to 3.0 m/s within 5 s along a level surface. What change would most likely require additional force to produce the same results?
Possibilities:
- reduce the mass of the box
- increase the mass of the box
- make the surfaces of the box smooth
- make the surface of the floor smooth

increase the mass of the box
