Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Because of the resistance of transmission lines, high current along the line leads to large voltage drop. This voltage drop causes low efficiency because the voltage at the receiving end is far less than that at the sending end.

Therefore there is need to transmit at a higher voltage (smaller current) than that required by distribution because of efficiency.

Hence, For safety and efficiency, the voltage must be large in the transmission lines and small in the distribution lines.

How to measure the speed of sound in air?
Leona [35]

STEP ONE:


Let  you and your friend stand as far away as possible from a large reflecting wall and clap your hands rapidly at a regular rate.  


STEP TWO:


Adjust this rate until each clap just coincides with the return of an echo of its predecessor, or until clap and echo are heard as equally spaced.


STEP THREE:


Use a stopwatch to find the time between claps, t. Make a rough measurement of distance to the wall, s. Thus the speed of sound, v = 2s/t

The length of time over which the conditions are measured

Explanation:

Weather captures the daily atmospheric conditions over a short duration hence it is short-term. Climate is the average of weather and covers a longer duration hence long-term. Therefore, what differentiatea these two is the length of time over which the conditions are measured.
