Why is it easier to move things on wheels than to carry them? The weight increases after all because of the weight of the wheels.
In: Physics
Are you carrying both items? Or are you pushing the thing on wheels?
When you are pushing the object, you don’t need to support the weight of the object, just supply enough force to turn the wheels. When you carry and object you have to both support the weight and provide the force for movement.
