To find the acceleration of the object, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
Where:
- \( F \) is the force applied (in newtons),
- \( m \) is the mass (in kilograms),
- \( a \) is the acceleration (in meters per second squared).
You can rearrange this formula to solve for acceleration:
\[ a = \frac{F}{m} \]
Given:
- \( F = 5.0 \) N
- \( m = 20.0 \) kg
Plugging in the values:
\[ a = \frac{5.0 \, \text{N}}{20.0 \, \text{kg}} \]
\[ a = \frac{5.0}{20.0} \]
\[ a = 0.25 \, \text{m/s}^2 \]
Therefore, the resulting acceleration of the object is **0.25 m/s²**.
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
