Two forces are applied to a 17kg box, as shown. The box is on a smooth surface

Which statement best describes the acceleration of the box?

A. the box accelerated to at 1.0 m/s² to the right because the net force is 17N to the right.

B. The box accelerates at 1.9 m/s² to the right because the greater force is to the right.

C. The box accelerates at 3.0 m/s² because the combined force cause the box to accelerate.

D. The box does not accelerate, because neither the force is large enough to move the box.

Answer:

A. the box accelerated to at 1.0 m/s² to the right because the net force is 17N to the right.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the net force acting on the body;

   Net force  = Forward force  - Backward force

  Forward force  = 35N

  Backward force  = 18N

 Net force  = 35N  - 18N = 17N

 So;

   Net force  = mass x acceleration

        17  = 17 x acceleration

        Acceleration  = 1m/s²

Therefore, the body moves in the forward direction with an acceleration of  1m/s²
