    Magnitude of acceleration is 0.48ms⁻²

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Mass of the book = 52kg

    Friction is negligible

    Force applied = 25N

    Acceleration = ?

    We know,

    Force = mass x acceleration

    Putting the value of force and mass, we can find the magnitude of acceleration.

    25N = 52kg x acceleration

    Acceleration = 25/52 = 0.48ms⁻²

    Therefore, magnitude of acceleration is 0.48ms⁻²
