Answer: To reduce resistance in order to achieve high efficiency of electrical transmission.

Explanation: Given that the

Power P = Current I^2 x Resistance R

That is,

P = I^2 × R

Also, remember that

P = IV

Where V = voltage.

Looking at the power equations above, we can explain why transmitting electricity at a very high voltage is beneficial. Because Transmitting at very high voltage will make current to be transmitted or flow through the wire with a very small magnitude. Since Voltage is inversely proportional to current from the formula

P = IV

Electricity will flow in any diameter of cable use with a low resistance thereby, increasing the efficiency of the electricity transmission by reducing the heat that might be generated as a result of electrical resistance during the course of transmission.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence \lambda= 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n} , here t is thickness, \lambda is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Which graph accurately shows the relationship between kinetic energy and speed as speed increases?
mixer [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.

For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.

Thus,

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 3^{2}

     = 9

KE = 9.0 Joules

Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:

KE =  \frac{1}{2} x 2 x 4^{2}

     = 16

KE = 16.0 Joules

Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
