1 the pictures show two boys pushing a box in opposite directions. what caused the position of the box to change?

Explanation:

The problem is about the change in position of a box due to two boys pushing it in opposite directions. In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), a force is a push or pull that can change the motion (including position) of an object. The two boys applying forces (pushes) on the box in opposite directions will result in a net force (depending on the magnitudes) that causes the box's position to change. So the cause is the application of force (the pushes from the boys).

Answer:

The position of the box changed because of the force applied by the two boys pushing it (the net force from the opposing pushes causes a change in its motion/position).
