Final answer:
Without the mass of the box, we cannot calculate the acceleration with the information provided. Typically, you would subtract any opposing forces from the applied force to find the net force and divide by the mass of the object to find acceleration.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks about calculating the acceleration of a box when a monkey applies a horizontal force. To find the acceleration, we would use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma). However, the mass of the box is not given in the question provided, so we cannot calculate acceleration without it.
In a related example, if the mass of the box were known, we could subtract any opposing forces, such as friction, from the applied force to find the net force. Then, we would divide the net force by the mass to find the acceleration. Here's a formula for reference:
Acceleration (a) = Net Force (Fnet) / Mass (m)
We would use similar steps to solve for the sample problems provided, whether it's a box on a frictionless incline, a child in a wagon, or a system of blocks
