Answer:

10kg

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm not super familiar with the GRESA method so apologies for any inaccuracies)

Given: We are given values for Force: 100N, and Acceleration: 10m/s2.

Required: We are trying to find Mass (m)

Equation: The best equation to use to solve this problem is F=ma,

Force = Mass x Acceleration. We can rearrange this for mass: m = F/a.

Solution: By substituting in the values we have:
m = (100)/(10)

Answer: Mass = 10kg

Hope this helped!
