What contributes the most to food waste in America

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
7 0

According to the USDA, 40% of our food worth $161 billion is not even harvested, lost in processing, thrown away in restaurants and homes or ended up rotting in America’s landfills. It is also reported that 50% of the produce is never consumed.

Disparities in food distribution and availability imply that numerous communities and neighborhoods have very constrained access to fresh affordable food. Also, a significant number of those with a bounty of food choose to toss it rather than donate it.  

Another type of food waste comes from produce discarded by millions of backyard cultivators due to their gardens producing far more fruits and vegetables than they might use, preserve or give to friends and neighbours.

What is the unit of k (spring constant) in SI system?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m

Explanation:

We have expression for force in a spring extended by x m given by

         F = kx

Where k is the spring constant value.

Taking units on both sides

         Unit of F = Unit of k x Unit of x

          N = Unit of k x m

          Unit of k = N/m

SI unit of k (spring constant) = N/m
