To find the acceleration when a net force of 20.0 N is applied to a body with a mass of 5.0 kg, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \times a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the net force,
- \( m \) is the mass,
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Rearranging the equation to solve for acceleration \( a \):
\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]
For a net force of 20.0 N and mass of 5.0 kg:
\[ a = \frac{20.0 , \text{N}}{5.0 , \text{kg}} \] \[ a = 4.0 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
So, the acceleration when a net force of 20.0 N is applied to a body with a mass of 5.0 kg is 4.0 m/s².
