In some lakes, the fish are contaminated with methylmercury. As a member of the Department of Environmental Quality, you have been assigned the job of developing an "advisory" for adult males to limit consumption of fish from these lakes. The advisory will be in terms of a recommended limit on the number of fish meals per unit of time. You must determine the unit of time, which is one per day, or one per week, or one per month. In addition to the EPA recommended values for estimating intake, use 1 x 10-6 for the fraction ingested, a 30-year exposure duration, and a 30-year averaging time to estimate the chronic daily intake. Your superiors have set a hazard index of 0.10 as a matter of policy. The RfD for methylmercury is 1 x 10-4 mg/kg-day.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

The chart shows the costs and shipping times for materials that a company needs to build a new product. which describes the best trade-off if the company needs to start building their product within the next two years? they should order the domestic materials because it is always best to choose the fastest shipping time. they should order the imported materials because it is always best to choose the lowest cost for materials. since the shipping time is longer, they should order the domestic materials because the additional cost is worth it to get the materials in time. even though the shipping time is longer, they should order the imported materials because they are less expensive and should arrive in plenty of time to build the product.

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .
