If a force of 10 N is applied on a mass of 5 kg, what will be its acceleration in m/s^2

Explanation:

Second Newton's Law

The theory that explains the relationship between the forces applied to an object and its motion is the second Newton's law.

It states that the net force applied to an object of mass m is given by

Where a is the acceleration aquired by the object that will cause a change of its velocity.

In our problem, we must compute the acceleration

not too sure thinking it will always be directed towards the centre of the earth. could be wrong not sure
