Every fast-food chain is required by law to make the nutrition content of the
items on its menu publicly available.

My friend should walk into her favorite place, or into the nearest McRonald's,
Bendy's, Tennessee Fried Turkey, Bulgur King, Plucky Please, White Palace,
Pita Hut, Carl's Senior, Back in the Box, or any of those others, ask to see
the Manager, and ask the manager for a chart of nutritional information that
includes their french fries. 

To be nice about it, she should do this at a time when the place is not too busy,
and the manager doesn't have a lot of more-important things that <em>need to be
done</em>
<em>right now</em>.

Under the french fries, look at the serving size, and the figure for "Sodium"
in that serving, which is the nutrient that your body gets from salt.  Less is
better.  More is worse.  For an adult, the CDC Institute of Medicine says
that 1500mg a day is 'adequate' for an adult.  The US Food and Drug
Administration recommends that adults should get 'no more than' 2300mg
in a day. People who have high blood pressure are supposed to watch it,
and take in a lot less sodium. 

And there are organizations with official-sounding names that totally dispute
all of this.

But to answer your question, that's what she should do to learn the amount
of salt used at the place where likes to get her french fries.

If a force does a positive amount of work on an object, does the object’s speed increase, decrease, or remain the same? Justify
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see that there is no dependence on speed, so the work remains constant

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. d

where the boldface indicates vectors, this equation can be written in scalar form

         W = f d cos θ

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

We see that there is no dependence on speed, so the work remains constant

The power is

           P = W / t

           P = f d / t

           p = F v

we see that the power is the one that depends on the speed of the body

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min
Vaselesa [24]
The average speed will be:
Total distance travelled divided by time taken
Total distance (in metres)= 80+125+45=250
Total time (minutes) =10
250/10
=25
Thus Mary's average speed is 25 metres per minute.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm

Un campo eléctrico es creado por una carga eléctrica de 5 microcoulomb, a 35 cm se coloca una carga de prueba la cual es atraída
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Supongo que queremos determinar la carga de la carga de prueba.

Sabemos que la fuerza culombiana entre dos cargas q₁ y q₂, separadas por una distancia R, está dada por:

F = k_c*\frac{|q_1*q_2|}{R^2}

Aislandolo para una de las cargas, obtenemos:

\frac{F*R^2}{kc*|q_1|} =|q_2|

En este caso sabemos:

fuerza atractiva, por lo que los signos de las cargas son opuestos.

q₁  = 5 mC

R = 35cm

F = 1.5 N

Kc = 9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2

Un primer paso, seria reescribir todos los valores en las mismas unidades.

Sabiendo que:

100cm = 1m

R = 35cm = (35/100) m = 0.35m

Y sabiendo que:

1mc = 1*10^(-6) C

Entonces:

q₁  = 5 mC = 5*1*10^(-6) C = 5*10^(-6) C

Ahora podemos reemplazar esos valores en la ecuación de la fuerza, para obtener el valor de la otra carga:

\frac{15N*(0.35m)^2}{(9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2)*5*10^{-6}C} =|q_2| = 4.08*10^{-5} C

Y recordar que las cargas tienen signo opuesto, entonces la carga de la carga de prueba es:

q₂ = -4.08*10^-5 C

An electromagnetic wave is traveling straight down toward the center of the Earth. At a certain moment in time the electric fiel
Anika [276]

Answer:

North

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the direction of the wave, the direction of the electric field and the direction of the magnetic field are all perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, we can  find the direction of the magnetic field by using the right hand rule. We have:

- Index finger: direction of motion of the wave --> toward the center of Earth

- middle finger: direction of the electric field --> west

- thumb: direction of the magnetic field --> north

So, the magnetic field points north.
