Answer:

F=m∗a

10N=m∗5m/s^2

10kg m/s^2=m∗5m/s^2

m=10kg m/s^25m/s^2

m=2kg

Explanation: i hope this helps :)

Answer:

2.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law, we can calculate using this formula:

F = ma

If we substitute F for 5N and a for the 2m/s^2, we get:

5N = m x 2m/s^2

Now divide each side by two and you get:

5N = 2.5kg x 2m/s^2
