  • Calculating Acceleration: Force, Mass, and Newton's Second Law
    Here's how to calculate the acceleration:

    Newton's Second Law of Motion

    Newton's Second Law of Motion states:

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

    Solving for Acceleration

    We can rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration:

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

    Applying the Values

    * Force (F) = 10 N

    * Mass (m) = 5 kg

    * Acceleration (a) = 10 N / 5 kg = 2 m/s²

    Answer: A 10 N force acting on a 5 kg mass produces an acceleration of 2 m/s².
