Aserving of a certain brand of potato chips is 100 calories. how much heat in joules would be released by burning those calories

1 food calorie = 4.184 Joules of energy

If you eat one serving of those chips, then 
the metabolizing (burning) of all that fat and
salt and carbohydrate in your body produces
(100 x 4.184) = 418.4 joules of energy.

That's the work required to lift a 100-lb weight about 3 feet off the floor.

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by  mathematical calculations  before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of  uranus  led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to   spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.
