Answer 1

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). Therefore, when the net applied force acting on the box increases, the acceleration of the box also increases, assuming the mass remains constant.

So the correct response would be:

It increases.
