The acceleration of an object is calculated using Newton's second law: F = ma.

Given that the force (F) applied is 10 N and the mass (m) of the object is 4.0 kg, we can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration (a).

a = F/m
a = 10 N / 4.0 kg
a = 2.5 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 2.5 m/s^2.

The correct answer is 2.5 m/s^2.
