Solution

To calculate the power of the vacuum cleaner, we need to use the formula for power which is:

Power = Energy / Time

The energy transferred by the vacuum cleaner is given as 72,000 J (Joules).

The time is given as 6 minutes, but power is typically calculated in terms of seconds, so we need to convert the time to seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 6 minutes is 6 * 60 = 360 seconds.

Now we can substitute these values into the formula:

Power = 72,000 J / 360 s = 200 W (Watts)

So, the power of the vacuum cleaner when used for 6 minutes is 200 Watts.
