Solution
According to Newton's second law of motion, when a force acts on a body, the rate of change in momentum of a body equals the product of the mass of the body and acceleration produced in it due to that force, provided the mass remains constant.
Mass of body = 400 g = 0.4kg
Force applied on body = 0.02 N
Acceleration = force/mass = 0.02/0.4 = 0.05 ms-2.
