Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second Law of Motion states: *Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a)*.

Mathematically: F = ma

Solving for Acceleration

1. Identify the given values:

* Mass (m) = 5 kg

* Force (F) = 10 N

2. Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:

* a = F / m

3. Substitute the values and calculate:

* a = 10 N / 5 kg

* a = 2 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the 5 kg mass is 2 m/s².
