Can someone help me with a research paper in Lifespan/Psychology?

An object is moving east, and it’s velocity changes from 65m/s to 25m/s in 10 seconds. which describes the acceleration?

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?

Need only answer if you think you know it
