Answer: 
Explanation:
Given
At an elevation of
, spacecraft is dropping vertically at a speed of 
Final velocity of the spacecraft is 
using equation of motion i.e. 
Insert the values

Therefore, magnitude of acceleration is
.
Answer: A,B, and E
Explanation: Just checked I got them right:)
Answer:
A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry
B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest
Explanation:
A)
let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.
the weight of the chain is:
and maximum tension is 
total mass and weight is :


∑



B)
maximum acceleration

using 
to solve for t
