Question

8)
A box experiences a force of 2 N to the left and 3 N to the right. Which is true of the box's motion?
The box will slow down.
The box's velocity will be 1 m/s.
The box's velocity will not change.
The box will experience acceleration.

Answer 1

Answer:

The box will experience an acceleration.

Explanation:

Here, 2 N and 3 N forces are acting opposite to each other. In this case, the net force experience by the box would be (3-2)N = 1 N towards right. Since acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, therefore the box will experience an acceleration.
