Can someone answer this? I'm confused due to working for at least 14 hrs straight

8) A bullet fired into a tree trunk strikes it with an initial velocity of 300 m/s. If the bullet
penetrates the tree trunk to a depth of 10 cm and comes to rest, what is the acceleration
of the bullet?
9) A jet flying at 400 m/s engages and accelerates at a rate of 15 m/s/s to a velocity of
500 m/s. How far does the fighter jet travels during acceleration?
10) A jaguar was observed to have left skid marks that were 300 m in length. Assuming
that the jaguar skidded to a stop with a constant acceleration of – 3.90 m/s², determine
the speed of the jaguar before it began to skid
