Answer 1

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

`:\implies` Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

`:\implies` 50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

`:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = (50\;N)/(10\;kg)}`

`:\implies` Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²
