You need to push a heavy box across a rough floor, and you want to minimize the average force applied to the box during the time the box is being pushed. Which method of pushing results in the minimum average force being applied to the box?

A. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed.
B. Push the box forward a short distance, rest, then repeat until finished,
C. Push the box so that it accelerates forward at a constant rate.

A. Keep pushing the box forward at a steady speed.

Explanation: Frictional force is a resistant force which oppose the Movement of an object, frictional force can emanate from a rough surface.

When an object that is moving with a consistent force is opposed by the roughness of the surface through which it is moving,it will cause the object to continue to move with a reduced speed as it goes along.

WHEN YOU APPLY A CONSTANT FORCE ON A MOVING OBJECT THAT IS OPPOSED BY A ROUGH SURFACE IT WILL RESULT IN AN AVERAGE MINIMAL FORCE BEING APPLIED TO THE OBJECT.
