The acceleration produced by a force of 5 N acting on a mass of 20 kg in $m/s^2$ is:
$(a)$. 4
$(b)$. 100
$(c)$. 0.25
$(d)$. 2.5

Here, force $F=5\ N$
 

Mass $m=20\ kg$

According to Newton's second law of motion, $F=ma$

Or acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$

Or $a=\frac{5\ N}{20\ Kg}$

Or $a=0.25\ m/s^2$

So, option (c) is correct.
