Ayoung man owns a canister vacuum cleaner marked "533 w [at] 220 v" and a volkswagen beetle, which he wishes to clean. he parks the car in his apartment parking lot and uses an inexpensive extension cord 19.0 m long to plug in the vacuum cleaner. you may assume the cleaner has constant resistance.

(a) if the resistance of each of the two conductors in the extension cord is 0.500 ω what is the actual power delivered to the cleaner?

(b) if instead the power is to be at least 523 w, what must be the diameter of each of two identical copper conductors in the cord he buys? (enter the minimum diameter.)

(c) repeat part (b) assuming the power is to be at least 530 w. (enter the minimum diameter.)

answer: 802.3 kilo joules of energy represents 191.75 kilo calorie of energy.

explanation:

energy released during combustion of one mole methane = 802.3 kilo joules

if 1 kilo joule = 0.239006   kilo calorie

then ,802.3 kilo joule will be = 802.30.239006 kilo calorie

802.3 kilo joule = 191.75 kilo calorie

hence, the energy in kilo calorie is 191.75 kilo calorie.

increase masses, decrease separation

c) up is the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
