Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

A 69-kg petty thief wants to escape from a third-story jail window. Unfortunately, a makeshift rope made of sheets tied together can support a mass of only 58 kg.

answer:

To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Calculate the magnitude of minimum acceleration at which the thief can descend </u>

we apply the relation below

Mg - T = Ma  --- ( 1 )

M = 69kg

g = 9.81

T = 58 * 9.81

a = ? ( magnitude of minimum acceleration)

From equation 1

a = [ ( 69 * 9.81 ) - ( 58 * 9.81 ) ] / 69

  = 1.5639 m/s^2

To 2 significant Figures = 1.6 m/s^2

Which of the following is not an example of natural climate change?
wlad13 [49]

(c) is the correct choice.

El Nino (a), Earth's orbit (b), and solar energy output (d) are all "natural" occurrences.  You can't do a thing aboutum.

Fossil fuels ... or, more precisely, humanity's use of vast quantities of fossil fuels as a convenient source of huge quantities of energy ... and the subsequent increase of Carbon Dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, is not the result of "natural" processes.  It's the result of human efforts to <em>alter and control</em> Nature, through <em>artificial</em> processes.

A secret agent is locked in a room. He pushes against the door but cannot open it. Finally, he falls to the floor exhausted. Has
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation:  Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is  

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.
