These are basic physics questions. If you have any hope of passing your physics course, i would attempt to do these on your own.
know your kinematics and that would solve half your issue here. Know conservation of energy and how to sum forces.
Another useful equation in this case would be E-gm1m2/r and rcm= ((m*x)1+(m*x)2)/m1+m2
To me the only tricky one should be the last one. IF you figure out the first two try and do the last one. If you can figure it out ill help you with it
I did. I do this to double check.

1a) average acceleration : a = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1) = (20-10)/5 = 2m.s^-2
1b) constant acceleration of 2m.s^-2 -> speed v(t) = 10+2t, position is x(t) = 10t+t^2, so after 5 seconds, the car travelled 75m
1c) highest average acceleration : t = 4.9s, v1 = 9.9, v2 = 20.1. In this case, a1 = 2.08m.s^-2
lowest average acceleration : t = 5.1s, v1 = 10.1, v2 = 19.9. In this case, a2 = 1.92
Hence the uncertainty is : u = +/- 0.8m.s^-2
no time for the rest right now
