Newton's 2nd Law tells us that acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied to an object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. This statement can be written as the following formulas:

Question

a = F/m or F = ma

Fnet = Fapplied - Ffriction

Answer 1

To calculate the net force (\(F_{net}\)) acting on box 1, we can use the formula provided:

\[ F_{net} = F_{applied} - F_{friction} \]

However, we need to have values for \(F_{applied}\) and \(F_{friction}\) in order to solve for \(F_{net}\). Since those values have not been provided in your question, I can't specifically calculate \(F_{net}\).

If you can provide the values for \(F_{applied}\) and \(F_{friction}\), I would be happy to help you solve for \(F_{net}\) in box 1.
