alleryStart learning →A pushed box does not budge because the floor supplies a force acting:
AOpposite the normal
BOpposite the mass
COpposite the push
DOpposite the weight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Opposite the push
1. Friction arises between the box and the floor.
2. It always resists the attempted motion.
3. So it acts opposite the push.
