For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between the mass of the box m and its acceleration a:
$\sum F = ma$
We are interested only in what happens on the x-axis (horizontal direction). Only two forces act on the box in this direction: the force F, pushing the box along the surface, and the frictional force $F_f = \mu m g$ which has opposite direction of F (because it points against the direction of the motion). Therefore we can rewrite the previous equation as
F-F_f = ma

and solve to find F:
$F=ma+F_f =m(a+\mu g)=(50 kg)(1.2 m/s^2+(0.35)(9.81 m/s^2))=$
=232 N

Answer from: angel2939

Net horizontal force, $F_{net}=231.5\ N$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 50 kg

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ground is 0.35, $\mu=0.35$

Acceleration of the box, $a=1.2\ m/s^2$

We know that the frictional force acts in opposite direction to the direction of motion. The net force acting on it is given by :

$F_{net}=f+ma$

$F_{net}=\mu mg+ma$

$F_{net}=m(\mu g+a)$

$F_{net}=50\times (0.35\times 9.8+1.2)$

$F_{net}=231.5\ N$

So, the net force acting on the box is 231.5 N. hence, this is the required solution.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
