The acceleration of the object is $0.5 \frac{m}{s} ^ 2$.

#### Explanation:

So the formula we are going to use is ${F}_{\text{NET}} = m a$.
=> Where ${F}_{\text{NET}}$ is the net force in $N$.
=> Where $m$ is the mass of the object in $k g$ .
=> Where $a$ is the acceleration of the object in $\frac{m}{s} ^ 2$.

Before we start calculating, there are some restrictions we have to consider.

1. The force of friction, ${F}_{\text{F}}$ , will be ignored.
2. No direction is specified, however, a force is applied to the object. The movement produced will be referred to as motion in a positive direction.

No direction is specified, however, a force is applied to the object. The movement produced will be referred to as motion in a positive direction.

Because we are looking for acceleration, we can rearrange the equation to give us acceleration.

${F}_{\text{NET}} = m a$

${F}_{\text{NET}} / m = a$

First off, we can plug in the variables respectively...

${F}_{\text{NET}} / m = a$

$\frac{5}{10} = a$

... and solve.

$\frac{5}{10} = a$

$0.5 = a$

The acceleration of the object is $0.5 \frac{m}{s} ^ 2$.

Hope this helps :)
