the object has a constant acceleration of #1/3#m/#s^2#

Explanation:

5N is the net force acting on the object, and that the object has a constant acceleration since the net force is constant.
Hence, the acceleration can be calculated using the formula F=ma, where F=net force, m=mass of object and a=acceleration.
From the question, F=5 and m=15
5=15a
a=#1/3#m/#s^2#
