Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the knowns and unknowns.

    Knowns:
    Mass (mm) = 10 kg
    Force (FF) = 50 N
    Unknown:
    Acceleration (aa)

  2. Recall Newton's Second Law of Motion.

    The formula is F=m×aF = m \times a.

  3. Rearrange the formula to solve for acceleration.

    a=Fma = \frac{F}{m}

  4. Substitute the known values into the formula.

    a=50 N10 kga = \frac{50 \, \text{N}}{10 \, \text{kg}}

  5. Calculate the acceleration.

    a=5 Nkga = 5 \, \frac{\text{N}}{\text{kg}}
    Since 1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s², the units become m/s².
    a=5 m/s2a = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2

    a=5 m/s2a = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2

    The acceleration of the box is 5 m/s².
