The number of animals needed to pull a wagon depends on several factors, including the wagon's weight, the terrain, and the speed desired. Typically, one to two horses or oxen can pull a standard wagon on flat ground. In more challenging conditions, such as steep inclines or rough terrain, additional animals may be required for optimal performance.
A team of ferrets to pull a wagon would be about 6 - 8 ferrets

Yaks are used to pull the wagon, not put into it, but probably only two.
1. use ropes to pull the wagon. 2. use 12 oxen to pull the wagon.
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.
A wagon is one possibility.

If the force preventing the wagon from moving is greater than the pull of the engine, the wagon will not move. If the force preventing movement is less than the pull of the engine, the wagon will move. If they are equal, the wagon will remain in place or move at a constant speed.
The Conestoga wagon was heavier and therefore required a larger number of draft animals to pull it than the Prairie Schooner 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.
It depends on the size of the wagon. Anywhere from one to over four oxen are used to pull a wagon.
