Four large grocery food chains sell approximately how much of the nation’s food?

Physics
1 answer:
coldgirl [10]2 years ago

Answer:

  one-fourth

Explanation:

In a recent year, over 1 trillion was spent on food in the US, about half of that at grocery stores, and about half for restaurants, food service, and other food outlets. About 250 billion was spent at the four largest grocery chains.

Approximately one-fourth of the nation's food is sold by the four largest grocery chains.

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.

A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force
VikaD [51]

Answer:

a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°

b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb

Explanation:

Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction

from the diagram

we say

∑Fₓ = 0

Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0

525cosα - 368.06 = 0

cosα = 368.06/525

cosα = 0.701

α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)

α = 45.5°

Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction

∑Fₓ = ma

Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)

525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

F - 13.04 = 27.95

F = 27.95 + 13.04

F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

True, True, False, False, False, False.

Explanation:

The refraction index of a material is given by the formula n=c/v, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v the speed of light in the material. If a ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials and the medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction it means that in this new medium the speed of light is smaller than on the other one, and then its wavelength is also reduced since f must remain the same (and \lambda=v/f), otherwise there is a discontinuity on number of vibrations per second, which cannot happen. So we know that:

1) The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. True.

2) The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. True.

3) The speed of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. False.

4) The speed of the light increases as it enters the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.

5) The frequency of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.

6) The wavelength of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.  False.

The amount of energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom is a quantity called the ionization energy, Ei. This energy ca
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The value is E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is \lambda  =  48.2 nm  =  48.2  *10^{- 9 }\  m

The velocity is v = 2.371*10^6 \ m/s

The mass of electron is m_e  =  9.109*10^{-31} \  kg

Generally the energy of the incident light is mathematically represented as

E =  \frac{h *  c}{\lambda}

Here c is the speed of light with value c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

h is the Planck constant with value h = 6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }  J\cdot s

So

E =  \frac{6.62607015 *  10^{-34 }* 3.0 *10^{8}}{48.2  *10^{- 9 }}

=> E = 4.12 *10^{-18} \  J

Generally the kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  m_e * v^2

=> E_k  =  \frac{1}{2} *  9.109*10^{-31} * (2.371*10^6 )^2

=> E_k  =  2.56 *0^{-18} \  J

Generally the ionization energy is mathematically represented as

E_i  =  4.12 *10^{-18} -   2.56 *0^{-18}

=>     E_i  =  1.5596 *10^{-18} \  J

An electric kitchen range has a total wall area of 1.40 m2 and is insulated with a layer of fiberglass 4.0 cm thick. The inside
Gemiola [76]

Answer: Heat current through the insulator=196W

Electric power= 196W

Explanation: Given: Kglass = 0.040W/m

Temperature of inside glassTi=175°C

Temperature of outside glass To= 35°C

Area=1.4m^2 , L= 4×10^-2

Heat current(H)= K ×A× (Ti - To)/L

Substituting the values into the equation

H = 0.04 × K × 1.4 ×(175-35)/4×10^-2

H= 196W.

The electric power = Heat current =196W

The electric power is the magnitude of heat current
