Answer 1

D since the contact force between the two objects will always be equal and opposite - Newton's first law

Answer 2

the computer said incorrect,remaining one trial

Answer 3

pushing small box will require more force

Answer 4

b

Answer 5

I concur. it's b

Answer 6

Yea, I brainfarted I guess. It's b

Answer 7

THANKS CORRECT
