Question

1. carmen is helping load furniture and boxes onto a moving van. she picks up boxes of her things, places them on a cart, and pushes them into the moving van. which term best describes the type of force she is using? a. contact b. gravity d. noncontact

Explanation:

Contact force is exerted when two objects are in physical contact. Carmen is physically touching the boxes to pick them up, place them on the cart, and push them into the van. Gravity is a non - contact force that pulls objects towards the Earth, and non - contact forces act without physical contact between objects. Since Carmen is in physical contact with the boxes, the force she is using is a contact force.

Answer:

A. contact
