Best Answer

The load in a full truck is mainly higher than the centre of gravity (COG) of the empty truck. As a result the COG of a full truck is higher. It is this than makes it easier to tip.

Why is it easier to push a toy chest along the floor when it is empty rather than when its full?

When the toy chest is empty, there is less mass to overcome inertia, making it easier to push. A full toy chest has more mass and therefore more inertia, requiring more force to move it.

Why is it easier to push a empty box rather than if its full?

The mass of the full box, which is being pushed along some surface, is greater and therefore the reaction of the surface on the box is greater. The limiting friction is proportional to this reaction. So, there is a greater friction for the moving force to overcome.


How do mass and inertia make it easier to pick up an empty juice bottle and a full juice bottle?

An empty bottle has less mass than a full bottle. This means that the empty bottle has less force to overcome when lifted which corresponds to less work to lift it.
