To determine which change in force would stop the box from moving, we need to consider the net force acting on the box. The net force is the sum of all the forces acting on the box.
In this case, the box is currently moving, which means there is a net force acting on it. We are given a force value of 1321891 N. Let's assume that this force is pulling the box to the right.
Now, let's analyze each of the given force changes and determine if they would stop the box from moving:
1. Adding 6 N of force pulling to the right: This would increase the net force acting on the box, making it more likely to continue moving to the right. Therefore, this change would not stop the box from moving.
2. Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the right: This would decrease the net force acting on the box, potentially slowing it down. However, since the initial force was significantly greater than 8 N, it is unlikely that this change alone would completely stop the box. Therefore, this change would also not stop the box from moving.
3. Adding 6 N of force pulling to the left: This would oppose the initial force and decrease the overall net force. As a result, the box would slow down and eventually stop. Therefore, this change would stop the box from moving.
4. Subtracting 8 N of force pulling to the left: This change would have a similar effect as adding 6 N of force pulling to the left. It would oppose the initial force, decrease the net force, and eventually stop the box. Therefore, this change would also stop the box from moving.
Based on our analysis, changes (3) and (4) would stop the box from moving.
