Answer:

The answer is acceleration is equal to 0.4m/s^2

Step by Step Explanation:

1) Acceleration is a vector derived magnitude that indicates the variation of speed per unit of time.

2) Taking into account Newton's Second Law, which determines a proportional relationship between force and variation in the amount of movement or linear momentum of a body. That is, the force is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of a body.

3) This law is expressed by the formula F = m.a where (F) represents Force (m) represents mass and (a) represents acceleration.

4) Knowing this we can issolate (a) from the formula and we would have:


a = (F)/(m)

5) Having this we can now replaces the values given in the problem.


a = (10N)/(25Kg) \\a = 0.4
