A box of tools rests in the back of a pickup truck. The truck accelerates to the north and the box remains at rest in the truck. The direction of the friction force on the box of tools is .

The direction of friction force is toards north.

Explanation:

A tool box is at rest on the back of a track. The truck is accelerating towards north.

As the frame of reference is acceleratinf so it is a non inertial frame  of reference.

Thus, teh toolkit experineces a pseudo force towards the south direction.

According to the question, the toolbox is at rest so the fiction force is balances by teh psheudoforce, and thus teh friction force is acting toards north.

overcharge is the right answer system

not too sure thinking all accelerations are pointed down
