Astudent pushes a 35-kg block on a frictionless, horizontal surface with a force of 18 n. what is the acceleration of the block ? a. 1.0m/ssquared b. 1.4m/ssquared c. 1.6m/ssquared d. 1.9m/ssquared

I'm having some difficulty seeing the diagram clearly.but the question says there's a net inward force on the object.so we know right away,  from newton's 2nd law of motion, thatthat baby is accelerating.  it doesn't even matter which way thenet force is pointing.  if there's any net force, then either theobject's speed or else its direction must be changing.
