5 m/s²

Answer 1

According to Newton's Second Law, the formula to calculate acceleration (a) is given by:

\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]

where:

• \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons),
• \( m \) is the mass of the object (in kilograms).

Given:

• \( F = 10 , \text{N} \)
• \( m = 2 , \text{kg} \)

Using the formula:

\[ a = \frac{10 , \text{N}}{2 , \text{kg}} = 5 , \text{m/s}^2 \]

Therefore, the resulting acceleration is 5 m/s².
