If the force acting on a body is $10 \mathrm{N}$, and the mass is $2 \mathrm{kg}$, what can be the acceleration of the body?

Concept: Newton's second law is one of physics' most important law. For a body with a constant mass $\mathrm{m},\mathrm{F}=$ ma can be written, where $\mathrm{F}$ (force) and a (acceleration) are both vector values. If a body experiences a net force, it is accelerated in line with the equation.

From the second law of motion we get that F=m a, when the mass is not changing. Putting in the values, we get, Force $=10=5\times \mathrm{a}$. Which will result in $a=2 \mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$.
