Given:
- Mass of the block (\(m = 2\, \text{kg}\))
- Applied force (\(F = 10\, \text{N}\))
- Frictionless surface.
Step 1: Apply Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s Second Law states:
\[
F = m \cdot a
\]
Rearranging to solve for acceleration (\(a\)):
\[
a = \frac{F}{m}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
a = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]
Step 2: Conclusion
The acceleration of the block is \(5 \, \text{m/s}^2\).
Answer: The acceleration is \(5 \, \text{m/s}^2\).
