______7. Which is not a contact force?

A. friction C. normal
B. gravity D. tension

______8. Which can move a fully loaded grocery cart faster? Why?

B. Two men because they can help each other in pushing it.
C. Three men because the more force is applied on the grocery cart making it
faster.
D. None of the above can move the cart because it is fully loaded.
