Force 'F' = mass 'm' * acceleration 'a'
F =250 * 10 =2500 N
A force of magnitude 2500 N is required to produce an acceleration of 10 m/s^2 in a mass of 250 kg

ukmudgal gave you a good answer.
My only comment is sort of on grammar. The terminology should be
"accelerate a 250 kg mass at (not to) 10 m/s^2". You accelerate "at" a magnitude of acceleration.

F=ma = (250 kg)(10 m/s^2) = 2500 N

First off, you really mean 10 m/s. m/s^2 is the rate of acceleration, not the final velocity.
And the answer is simple:
250kg * 10m/s = 2500 kg meters / second
There's probably a formula in your physics book that will translate that to other units (such as newtons or watts or something).
