Answer:

So that it may trap the solar radiations and maintain the temperature of the wooden building.

Explanation:

Wood is not as effective an insulator as fiberglass. It comes in a number of widths, the widest being 3/4 inch, which has an R-value of 0.94. However, fiberglass, the thinnest of which is 3/4 inch, has an R-value of 3. Therefore, fiberglass is a better insulator.

Air is an excellent insulator. Fiberglass is a good insulator because of the vast amount of air spaces trapped in it. Therefore fiberglasses are used as insulator in wooden buildings than any other insulator.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

How would doubling the mass of Earth affect the gravity we experience?​
N76 [4]
The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases.

What would the velocity of an object be if it was on a 1.75m
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec      period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s       speed of object
