A5.0 kg box is sliding across a waxed floor by the application of a 15 n east force. if the force of friction is 2.5 n west, what is the net force acting on the box? whis is the box's acceleration

1) 12.5 N east

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F

- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with

Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has

Therefore, the net force on the box will be:

And the positive sign means the direction is east.

2)

We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:

where

is the net force on the box

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

For the box in this problem,

(east)

m = 5.0 kg

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

And the direction is the same as the net force (east)

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
