Albert pushes a 12 kg box across a level floor. He pushes with a force of 45 N and observes that the box accelerates in the direction of his push at a rate of 2 m / s 2 . What is the net force acting on the box

The net force acting on the box is 24 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the box, m = 12 kg

Force applied to the box, F = 45 N

Acceleration of the box, (in the direction of box motion)

We need to find the net force acting on the box. We know that the net force acting on the box is given by the product of mass and acceleration. It is given by :

So, the net force acting on the box is 24 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

i don't understand is there any other way you can rephrase it plz let me know in the comments and i will do it.
