The power that's lost when current flows through anything is

       (current)² times (resistance).

You can see that in order to minimize the power lost in transporting electrical
energy from one place to another, you'd want to make both the resistance of
the conductors and the current through the lines as low as possible.

The resistance is reduced by using heavier (fatter) conductors, and using
as much silver or copper in them as possible ... both very expensive.

Power = (current) times (voltage), so the way to reduce the current while
shipping the same power from place to place is to increase the voltage. 
That's exactly what the transformer does ... it changes the voltage and
current, while keeping their product the same.  It's used to step the voltage
up for transmission, in several steps from the generating station all the way
to the residential neighborhood, and then finally back down, on the pole
near your house.

In the National Grid, the Step Up Transformer increases the amount of voltage that is passing through the grid at any one time. These are used at power stations, as without them, there would not be enough power to transport the electricity around the national grid.
Hope this helps :)

What is one way to take advantage of creating even more kinetic energy on this particular technologically advanced field
ch4aika [34]

Incomplete question. However, I provided a brief about Kinetic energy generation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Interestingly, Kinetic energy in simple terms refers to the energy possessed by a body in motion.

It is often calculated using the formula E =  \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

A good example of creating even more kinetic energy is a hand crank toy car that moves after you wind it a little, when the car moves it is generating another measure of K.E.

A ball is shot straight up into the air from the ground with initial velocity of 44ft/sec44ft/sec. assuming that the air resista
solniwko [45]
Convert the given in SI units.

         (44 ft/sec)(1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 13.41 m/sec

The distance traveled and the initial velocity can be related through the equation,
  
   d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²/ 2a

where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values from the given above,

    d = ((0 m/s)² - (13.41 m/s)²)/ 2(-9.8 m/s²)

The value of d from the equation,

    d = 9.17 meters

Convert this to feet,

    d = (9.17 m)(3.28 ft / 1 m) = 30 ft

Answer: 30 ft

I need help on number 2 and 3
irinina [24]

For 2 draw the molucules very close together. because in soilds the molucules are VERY close to gether.

and for 3 Draw them with a lot of space apart from each other. Molucules move freely and openly in air and space.

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest! Thanks!! :D

Which planet has completed less than one orbit of the sun in the last 100 years?
OlgaM077 [116]
Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, the correct answer would be Neptune. It is eight and farthest known planet of the Solar system. Orbital period of planet Neptune is 168 years. So planet Neptune has completed less than one orbit around the Sun in the last 100 years.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

An interference pattern.

Explanation:

When we have two light source of the same frequency turned on close to each other, the light emitted by them will interfere since light is also a wave. This means that an interference pattern will appear in a screen put ahead of them, that is, bands of light and darkness where the waves are interfering constructively and destructively.
