A student wants to push a heavy box across the floor. They try pushing it, but it doesn't move. According to Newton's First Law of Motion, why did the box not move?
A) The box has no mass.B) The student did not apply any force.
C) The force applied by the student was balanced by an opposing force, like friction.
D) The box is naturally immune to all forces.
Imagine two identical shopping carts, one empty and one full of groceries. If you push both carts with the exact same amount of force, which cart will have a greater acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?
A) The full cart, because it has more mass.B) The empty cart, because it has less mass.
C) Both carts will accelerate at the same rate.
D) Neither cart will accelerate.
