According to Newton's second law, F=ma

Where F is the force acting on the object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the body due to the applied force.

It is given in the question,

m=5 kg

F=25 N

On substituting the known values in the above equation,


25=5* a

On rearranging the above equation,


a=(25)/(5)=5m/s^2

Therefore the object's acceleration is 5 m/s²
