Answer: 10 m/s^2
Explanation:
1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:
Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.
2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:
acceleration = Net force / mass
acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.
