Death Valley holds the record for the highest recorded temperature in the United States. On July 10, 1913, at a place called Fur

nace Creek Ranch, the temperature rose to Th = 134°F. The lowest U.S. temperature ever recorded occurred at Prospect Creek Camp in Alaska on January 23, 1971, when the temperature plummeted to Tc = −79.8°F.
A) Convert these temperatures to the Celsius scale.
B) Convert the Celsius temperatures in part (a) to Kelvin.

Answer:

A) The formula used to convert from degrees fahrenheit to degrees celsius is °C = 5/9 (° F - 32)

Thus, 5/9 (134°F-32)

5/9=0,55

=0,555 * 102°F

=56,66 °C

B) 5/9 (-79.8°F-32)

=0,555 * -111,8

=-62.11 °C

A) The formula used to convert from degrees Celcius to degrees Kelvin is °K = °C + 273.15

56,66 °C + 273.15

= 329.81 °K

B) K = -62.11 °C + 273.15

=211.04 °K

Which involves more work in the scientific sense: moving the boxes and the furniture down from the second floor or up to the fif
Advocard [28]

Answer:

moving the boxes and the furniture up to the fifth floor.

Explanation:

The work done when moving an object up or down is equal to its change of gravitational potential energy:

W=mg \Delta h

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the object

We have two opposite situations:

1) when an object is moved upward, \Delta h is positive, so the work done W is positive as well: this means that we need to do work in order to move the object, because we have to "win" the effect of gravity, which pulls the object downward

2) when an object is moved downward, \Delta h is negative, so the work done W is negative as well: this means that we do not need to do work on the object, because it is already done by gravity, which pulls the object downward.

Therefore, more work is done when we are moving the boxes and the furniture up to the fifth floor.

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
V=IR
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know V=220 V and R=220 \Omega, therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
R= \rho \frac{L}{A}
where
\rho is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
