A5.0 kg box accelerates to the left while on the floor. it accelerates with a net force of 100 n (in spite of the 200 n of friction it encounters). what is the name of the force that accelerates the box?

Net force.

Explanation:

Given that

m = 5 kg

Net force ,F(net) = 100 N

Friction force ,Fr= 200 N

From the second law of Newton's

F(net) = m a

m= Mass  

a= acceleration

F(net) =  Net force act on the body

Therefore we can say that, the name of the force that will accelerate the box will be a Net force.

That is why the answer will be Net force.

Explanation:

Given

mass of box

Net force

frictional Force

using FBD

So the force acting on block which accelerates it is Net force  

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;
