Answer:

Acceleration of the block, [tex]a=2\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 10 kg

The horizontal force acting on the block, F = 20 N

We need to find the acceleration of the block. It can be calculated by using the second law of motion. Mathematically, it is given by :

F = m × a

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{20\ N}{10\ kg}[/tex]

[tex]a=2\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the block is [tex]2\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
