From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.
The question is asking to calculate the object's speed v1, v2, v3 at the certain time is the given of the problem, in my calculation, I would say that the speed would be 2m/s, 1.5m/s, 0.22m/s. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarification
If the force and the motion are along the same direction (like it is here) then work is force*distance. The time doesn't come into play until you want the power used. So here
W=9.0*3.0=27J
