Answer

As we know,

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

Given,

F = 15 N

m = 2 kg

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

15=2×aa=152a=7.5m s215 = 2 \times a \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow a = \dfrac{15}{2} \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow a = 7.5 \text {m s}^{-2} \\[0.5em]

Hence,

Acceleration produced by the body = 7.5 m s-2
