Answer:

It will have an acceleration of
0.71 m/s^(2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton’s second law is defined as:


F = ma (1)

Equation 1 can be rewritten for the case of the acceleration:


a = (F)/(m)

The force and the acceleration are directly proportional (if one increase the other will increase too).


a = (5.0 N)/(7.0 Kg)

But 1 N is equivalent to
1 Kg.m/s^(2)


a = (5.0 Kg.m/s^(2))/(7.0 Kg)


a = 0.71 m/s^(2)

So a body will have an acceleration as a consequence of the action of a force.
