Answer:

2 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law gives us the relationship between force, mass and acceleration:


F=ma

where

F is the force applied

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 70 kg is the mass

F = 140 N is the force

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:


a=(F)/(m)=(140 N)/(70 kg)=2 m/s^2
