Question

Two cars are sitting still. Car A has a mass of 2000 kilograms. Car B has a mass of 4000 kg. If the goal is to push both cars to roll at the same speed, describe the force it will take to get Car B to that speed? (Assume everything else is equal: friction & steepness of the road, time, person pushing, etc.)

Answer 1

Since car B has twice as much mass as car A has, it would require 2x as much force that it would need to push car A down.

If that was kinda confusing lemme say it again,

It would take twice as much that would be needed to push car B down than car A

Since everything is the same, basically two people would need to push down car B and one person for car A

Hope this helps
