Answer:

20m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Force = 10000N

Mass = 500kg

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time

Now insert the parameters and solve;

10000 = 500 x acceleration

Acceleration = 20m/s²
