(a) 10 m/s^2
 
(b) 80 m/s^2
 
(c) 8 m/s^2
 
(d) 0.8 m/s^2
 
The question was posed to me in homework.
 
I need to ask this question from Newton’s Second Law of Motion in section Laws of Motion of Physics – Class 11

Correct option is (a) 10 m/s^2
 
The best explanation: From the second law of motion we get that F = ma, when the mass is not changing. Putting in the values, we get, Force = 10 = 5 x a. Which will result in a = 10 m/s^2.
