Velocity in the east direction  = 5\hat{i}

Velocity in the north direction  = 5\hat{j}

      Acceleration     \vec{a}= \frac{5\hat{j}-5\hat{i}}{10}

or    \vec{a}=\frac{1}{2}\hat{j}-\frac{1}{2}\hat{i}\: or\: \left |\vec{a} \right |\sqrt{\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}+\left ( -\frac{1}{2} \right )^{2}}

         |\vec{a}|=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} m s^{-2} \text { towards north west }
