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.
