Answer

As we know,

Force (f) = mass (m) x acceleration (a)

Given,

F = 10 N

m = 5 kg

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

10=5×a⇒a=105⇒a=2m s−210 = 5 \times a \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow a = \dfrac{10}{5} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow a = 2 \text {m s} ^{-2} \\[0.5em]

Hence,

Acceleration produced by the body = 2 m s-2
