By Newton's 2nd law of motion, F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Rearranging this equation to find acceleration would give us:
a = F/m

The horizontal force to the right is 10N, because the box is pushed to the right with a force of 20N, and the friction force of 10N opposes that, so:
20N - 10N = 10N

The mass is 2kg.

Putting these values into the equation gives us:
a = F/m
= 10/2
= 5ms^-2

The acceleration of the box is 5ms^-2

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years  , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}

= 15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years  

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years
