Approximately #926 \ "m/s"^2#.

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law of motion here, which states that,

#F=ma#

  • #m# is the mass of the object in kilograms

  • #a# is the acceleration of the object in meters per second squared

And so, plugging in our given values, we get,

#a=F/m=(25 \ "N")/(0.027 \ "kg")#

#=925.93 \ "m/s"^2#
