If for every action force an equal and opposite reaction force exists, how can anything ever be accelerated?

If there are two equal and opposite forces on the SAME THING, then the thing doesn't accelerate. You're right about that. But the action and reaction forces act on two different things. The bullet and the rifle. The ball and the bat. The airplane and the air. etc. So BOTH can accelerate.

A box of mass 3.1kg slides down a rough vertical wall. The gravitational force on the box is 30N . When the box reaches a speed
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The box will be moving at 0.45m/s. The solution to this problem requires the knowledge and application of newtons second law of motion and the knowledge of linear motion. The vertical component of the force Fp acts vertically upwards against the directio of motion. This causes a constant upward force of 23sin45° to act on the box. Fhe frictional force of 13N also acts vertically upwards and so two forces act upwards against rhe force of gravity resulting un a net force of 0.7N acting kn the box. This corresponds to an acceleration of 0.225m/s². So in w.0s after i start to push v = 0.45m/s.
