A truck starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at \(2.0~\text{ms}^{-2}\). At \(t = 10~\text{s}\), a stone is dropped by a person standing on the top of the truck (\(6\) m high from the ground). What is the acceleration of the stone at \(t = 11~\text{s}\)? (Neglect air resistance.)
1. \(10\) ms–2 (upward)
2. \(15\) ms–2 (downward)
3. \(10\) ms–2 (downward)

A bullet fired at an angle of 30° with the horizontal hits the ground 3.0 km away. By adjusting its angle of projection, can one hope to hit a target 5.0 km away? Assume the muzzle speed to be fixed, and neglect air resistance.
1. Yes
2. No
3. Depends on the mass of the bullet
4. None of the above
