Answer:

The answer is 4 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula


a = (f)/(m) \\

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have


a = (20)/(5) \\

We have the final answer as

4 m/s²

Hope this helps you
