A foolish mover has a10kg box resting on a well-waxed and frictionless floor in a long hallway. The moverdecides to push the box down the hallway, but she does it by applying a force of50N directed60degreesbelow the positive x-axis. (a) Find the acceleration of the box( b) At what angle should she push the box to maximize its acceleration?
