Answer 1

The two factors that will most strongly affect how hard Cade needs to push the box are:

**The total mass of the box and the friction between the box and the floor.**

These factors determine how much force is needed to overcome the inertia of the box (mass) and how much resistance is encountered due to the frictional force between the box and the floor.
