Mira Mclaughlin · Answer 1

Fernando, Alex, Kimberly

The heavier an object, the more force is needed to move it.

Arjun Webb · Answer 2

The heavier the object and the more it needs force and the question asks to put them in order from the most to least amount of force needed to move them it would be:

Fernando, Alex, and Kimberly

Since Kimberly's sailboat only weighs 150 grams, Alex's sailboat weighs 175 grams, and Fernando's sailboat weighs the most at 200 grams.
