QUESTION 1: If you can exert a pull that is greater than your weight, why can’t you fly off the ground by pulling your belt upward? because the Earth will pull you downward with the same force, so they cancel out because your body exerts the same amount of force on you, so they cancel out because the normal force and your weight cancel out just before you pull your belt upward not enough information is given QUESTION 2: You are pushing a box to the right with a 210-N force. How much force does the box exert on you? less than 210 N, to the left equal to 210 N, to the left equal to 210 N, to the right greater than 210 N, to the left
