Circular mass, finding multiple variables

[vaironl]

A 4.0 N and 3.0 N force act simultaneously on a circular mass of .25 kg, initially at rest floating in space.

a) Find the net force acting on the mass (magnitude and direction)

I found the netforce (Resultant) = 5N


b) Find the acceleration of the mass, magnitude and direction.
The acceleration is 20m/s^2 am I right?

if the two original forces were perpendicular, then yes
