Newton's Second Law:

* Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

We know:

* Force (F) = 100 N

* Mass (m) = 5.0 kg

We need to find:

* Acceleration (a)

Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration:

* Acceleration (a) = Force (F) / Mass (m)

Plugging in the values:

* Acceleration (a) = 100 N / 5.0 kg

* Acceleration (a) = 20 m/s²

Therefore, the resulting acceleration is 20 m/s².
