Are ox and horses the only animals that pull pioneer wagon trains?

Why was the Schooner wagon considered faster than others?
I'm not aware of the schooner wagon being faster. However, the difference I am aware of is the schooner wagon used no draft animals to pull it. Instead it had a sail and the wind provided the force to propel the wagon, much like a ship at sea.

What energy is used when your pulling a wagon?
The energy used when pulling a wagon is muscular energy generated by your muscles. Your muscles contract and exert force to move the wagon, converting chemical energy stored in your body into mechanical energy to do work.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Decreasing the mass of the wagon will not increase the force used to pull it. The force required to pull an object is dependent on its mass, so reducing the mass would actually decrease the force needed.
What source of energy is used to pull a wagon when someone is already pulling it?
The additional energy source used to pull a wagon when someone is already pulling it could be the wheels interacting with the ground to reduce friction, allowing for smooth movement. Additionally, gravity can assist in pulling the wagon downhill, and wind resistance may also play a role in aiding movement.
What is an Inuit tool called a nitsiq?

Is one way to increase the force used to pull a wagon to decrease the mass in the wagon?
Of course not. But decreasing the mass of the wagon mayincrease the effectiveness of the force used to pull it.Look at it this way:Whether I'm trying to pull a truck or a little red wagon, makes no differencein the maximum amount of force I'm able to apply. But my maximum can movethe little red wagon a lot faster and a lot farther than it can move the truck.
