Please don't run yourself down ! You are not dumb ! You are a school-boy, using a computer, to access the Internet, implement duplex digital communication, and answer a question on Sir Isaac Newton's laws of motion. I'm pretty sure that your parents and grandparents could never do most of that !
Now I'll SHOW you that you're only overthinking this. If you didn't practically INVITE it to scare you, it couldn't do that.
The question is: When you push a 0.65 kg ball with 125 Newtons of force, what is the ball's acceleration ?
That's the question. You have no idea how to get acceleration out of mass and force. You kinda remember that there was some kinda formula to calculate it with, but there's no chance that you remember the formula.
Now SIT UP in your chair, turn off your phone and the music, LOOK at the problem, READ it, and ALLOW your BRAIN to warm up.
READ the first line. It says USE THIS FORMULA . What are the letters in the formula ?
-- ' a ' ... that's acceleration; that's what you have to find.
-- ' F ' ... that's Force; you know it; it's 125 Newtons.
-- ' m ' ... that's mass; you know it; it's 0.65 kg .
What would happen if you write 125 in place of the 'F', write 0.65 in place of the 'm', and divide them because it's written in a fraction ? You'd get a single number. Then the formula would say ' acceleration = the number '.
Would it be the correct number for acceleration ? I don't know. But who cares ! The problem says "Use this formula". So the right answer is whatever number you get when you use this formula.
It so happens that the formula IS the correct one, because it comes from Newton's second law of motion; eventually, you'll need to know this. But right now, to answer the question and solve the problem, all you have to do it USE THIS FORMULA, and see if the number you get is one of the choices.
Don't overthink these things. They can't scare you if you don't let them.
