In a westem movie, a confederate raiding party stopped a runaway boxcar carrying gold by using many ropes tied to trees. Given below are six boxcars that are moving along horizontal railroads at specified speeds. Also given are the masses of the boxcars. All of the boxcars are the same size and shape, but they are carrying loads with different masses. All of these boxcars are going to be stopped by plowing through a large number of these secured ropes. All of the boxcars need to be stopped in the same distance. Rank these situations from greatest to least on the basis of the strength of the forces that will be needed to stop the boxcars in the same distance. That is, put first the boxcar on which the strongest force will have to be applied to stop it in x meters, and put last the boxcar on which the weakest force will be applied to stop the boxcar in the same distance. 4 mis A 5m's B 10 mis Вохсаr Вохсar Вохсar 10 Mg 12 Mg 16 Mg 6m's 5 mis E 10 mis Boxcar Boxcar Вохсаr 12 Mg 16 Mg 10 Mg Greatest 3 5 6.
