Question: Two horizontal forces, 1 and 2 , are acting on a box, but only 1 is shown in the drawing. 2 can point either to

Two horizontal forces, (a) +5.0 m/s2,
(b) -5.0 m/s2, and
(c) 0 m/s21 and -- +x2, are acting on a box, but only 1 is shown in the drawing. 2 can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that 1 = +19.0 N and the mass of the box is 3.0 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of 2 when the acceleration of the box is

(a) +5.0 m/s2,

(b) –5.0 m/s2, and

(c) 0 m/s2
