Question

A force of \( 10 \, \text{N} \) acts on a body of mass \( 2 \, \text{kg} \). What is the acceleration of the body?

• A. \( 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
• B. \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
• C. \( 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)
• D. \( 1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)

Hint:

Remember: According to Newton's second law, acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass: \( a = \frac{F}{m} \).
