Answer:
[tex]5 m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Assuming the tension in the rope is the only force acting on the block, then we can use Newton's second law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the net force on the block
m is the mass of the block
a is its acceleration
The tension in the rope is the only force acting on the block, so
F = T = 10 N
The mass of the block is
m = 2 kg
So, solving for a, we find the acceleration:
[tex]a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{10}{2}=5 m/s^2[/tex]
