what is the net force?
what is the acceleration?

Explanation:

Step1: Define forces

Let the left - ward force $F_1 = 10N$ and the right - ward force $F_2=25N$.

Step2: Calculate net force

Net force $F_{net}=F_2 - F_1$. Substitute the values: $F_{net}=25N - 10N$.
$F_{net}=15N$ (right - ward since $F_2>F_1$).

Step3: Calculate acceleration

According to Newton's second law $F = ma$, where $F = F_{net}$, $m = 3kg$. So $a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}$. Substitute $F_{net}=15N$ and $m = 3kg$ into the formula: $a=\frac{15N}{3kg}=5m/s^{2}$.

Answer:

Net Force: $15N$ (right - ward)
Acceleration: $5m/s^{2}$
