Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}[/tex]
Explanation:
F = ma
[tex]a = \dfrac{F}{m} = \dfrac{\text{20 N}}{\text{5 kg}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg$\cdot$ m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}}{\text{1 N}} = \text{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{-2}$}\\\\\text{The acceleration of the object is } \boxed{\textbf{4 m $\cdot$ s$^{\mathbf{-2}}$}}[/tex]
