Answer 1

In the context of force and motion, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net applied force acting on it, provided that the mass remains constant.

Therefore, if the net applied force acting on the box increases, the acceleration will also increase.

The correct response is:

It increases.
