The currents (Amperes) in the two cases are calculated as power/voltage: <span>

510000W / 12000V = 42.5 A 
510000W / 47000V = 10.85 A 

<span>And that the power wasted in the two cases is calculated as current^2 x resistance:

(42.5 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 4,515.625 W 
(10.85 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 294.30625 W 

<span>So the amount of power saved is the difference:
<span>4,515.625 - 294.30625  = 4221.32 Watts</span></span></span></span>

<span>This is the main reason why distribution grids aim to operate at the highest voltages possible.</span>

Douglas has a segment with endpoints I(5, 2) and J(9, 10) that is divided by a point K such that IK and KJ form a 2:3 ratio. He
Rufina [12.5K]
For the answer to the question above, 
 the distance from i to j is 5 parts 
(2 parts from i to k and 3 parts from k to j) 

The y distance from i to j is 
10 - 2 = 8 

Each part is 8/5 = 1.6 
Therefore the distance between the 2 parts from i to k is 3.2 

From the y coordinate of I which is 2 plus the 3.2 to point k 
2 + 3.2 = 5.2 

Answer y =5.2 

Now just convert that to fraction and that will be the answer

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

10.125 meters?

Explanation:

Im taking 5.75m/s + 1.25 m/s/s (3.5) = my answer.

In those 3.5 seconds it travels 4.375.

I added that to 5.75 to get 10.125m
