To determine which box will have the greatest acceleration, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration). You can rearrange this formula to solve for acceleration:

\[
a = \frac{F}{m}
\]

where \( F \) is the net force applied to the box and \( m \) is the mass of the box.

Let's calculate the acceleration for each box:

1. **20 kg box lifted with 40 N of force**
\[
a = \frac{40 \, \text{N}}{20 \, \text{kg}} = 2 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

2. **10 kg box lifted with 60 N of force**
\[
a = \frac{60 \, \text{N}}{10 \, \text{kg}} = 6 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

3. **20 kg box lifted with 60 N of force**
\[
a = \frac{60 \, \text{N}}{20 \, \text{kg}} = 3 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

4. **10 kg box lifted with 40 N of force**
\[
a = \frac{40 \, \text{N}}{10 \, \text{kg}} = 4 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

Now, we can compare the accelerations:

- 20 kg box with 40 N: \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- 10 kg box with 60 N: \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- 20 kg box with 60 N: \( 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
- 10 kg box with 40 N: \( 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

The box with the greatest acceleration is the **10 kg box lifted with 60 N of force,** which has an acceleration of \( 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

To calculate the force applied to the baseball, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:

\[
F = m \cdot a
\]

where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.

First, convert the mass of the baseball from grams to kilograms, since the SI unit for mass is kilograms:

\[
145 \, \text{g} = 0.145 \, \text{kg}
\]

Now, substitute the values into the formula. Given the acceleration \( a = 80 \, \text{m/s}^2 \):

\[
F = 0.145 \, \text{kg} \cdot 80 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

Now calculate:

\[
F = 0.145 \cdot 80 = 11.6 \, \text{N}
\]

The force that the pitcher applied to the baseball is **11.6 N**.

Negative acceleration, also known as deceleration, occurs when an object is slowing down or experiencing a reduction in its velocity over time.

Among the provided options, the situation that describes negative acceleration is:

**a runner slowing down at the end of a race.**

This is because the runner is decreasing their speed, which indicates negative acceleration. The other options describe constant velocity or increasing speed, which do not qualify as negative acceleration.
