The net force acting on the particle is the vector sum of the given forces: 
net force = 11ea7ff9_2a7b_28e7_a768_27981424a318_TB2295_11N + 11ea7ff9_2a7b_28e8_a768_630a229931de_TB2295_11N = 22N
Using Newton's second law, F=ma, we can solve for the acceleration: 
a = F/m = 22N / 2.0kg = 11m/s^2
Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration is 4.7 m/s^2 (option C).
