Answer:

a = 5 [m/s²]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from Newton's second law that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = total force = 50 [N]

m = mass = 10 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing:


a = (F)/(m) \\a=50/10\\a = 5 [m/s^(2) ]
