I have tired this so many times and i really need your help!
I have
F=ma
F=10 x 10m/s2
But what now?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula is F = M * A
your force is 100 newtons.
your acceleration is 10 meters per second squared.
your equation becomes 100 = M * 10
solve for M to get M = 10 kilograms.
that's all you need to do in this problem i think.

force is in newtons.
mass is in kilograms.
acceleration is in meters per second squared.

here's a reference.

F+=+mass%2Aa <--> F%2Fa=m
With the mass in kilograms, and the acceleration in m%2Fs%5E2 ,
the product is the force in Newtons.
Since you have the force in Newtons, and the acceleration in m%2Fs%5E2 ,
the mass in kilograms is
m=F%2Fa=100%2F10=highlight%2810%29 .
The mass is highlight%2810kg%29 .
