why does a person fall to the floor when he or she trips over a heavy box?

*Newton’s Laws*

Sagot :

Answer:

The box acts as a force to stop the motion of the person walking.

Explanation:

Newton's first law or the law of inertia, states that an object will stay in motion until something acts upon it to stop it.

Answer:

Friction (traction) is the resistance between things. There's friction between your shoes and the ground. Without enough friction, you can slip and fall.

When you push a heavy box, it pushes back at you with an equal and opposite force (Third Law) so that the harder the force of your action, the greater the force of reaction until you apply a force great enough to cause the box to begin sliding.
