Answer: We want to find the acceleration needed to achieve a force of 25 Newtons.

The acceleration is:

a = 25N/m

By Newton's second law, we know that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

So if we want to have a force of 25N, we replace F by 25N, so we get:

25N = m*a

Solving this for the acceleration, we get:

25N/m = a

Notice that we can't get the exact acceleration as we do not know the mass of the object, but we got a general formula where we can replace the mass of the object to get the exact acceleration.
