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**.
