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.

Goryan [66]
Number one a and b are automatically out if you decrease the pitch or frequency you wont hear it louder it does not add up ok?
number 2 the answer would be C the higher the frequency the higher the pitch the lower the frequency the lower the pitch this just comes back to common sense. for example you cant decrease the frequency and than expect a louder pitch its like saying I am going to smash the key on this piano with all my strength and it will make a small very low pitch sound you get what I mean so your answer would indeed be C.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

(a). The distance from the initial position is 6.68 km.

(b).  The magnitude of their displacement is 7.05 km.

Explanation:

Given that,

Geese fly 4.0 km due west, then turn to north by 40° and fly another 3.5 km.

(a). We need to calculate the distance from the initial position

Using formula of distance

D=AB+BC\cos\theta

Put the value into the formula

D=4.0+3.5\cos40

D=6.68\ km

(b). We need to calculate the magnitude of their displacement

Using formula of displacement

AC=\sqrt{CD^2+AD^2}

AC=\sqrt{(3.5\sin40)^2+(6.68)^2}

AC=7.05\ Km

Hence, (a). The distance from the initial position is 6.68 km.

(b).  The magnitude of their displacement is 7.05 km.

A 310-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 260-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the sp
UNO [17]

Answer:

v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cart 1, m₁ = 310 g

speed of car 1 , v₁ = 1.25 m/s

mass of cart 2, m₂ = 260 g

speed of cart 2, v₂ = -1.33 m/s

speed of center of mass

v_{CM}=\dfrac{m_1v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}

v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.31\times 1.25 +0.26\times (-1.33)}{0.31+0.26}

v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.0417}{0.57}

v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s

Hence, speed of center of mass of the system is equal to 0.0732 m/s
