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.

Answer:

388.5J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight  = 70N

Height  = 5.55m

Unknown:

Gravitational potential energy at the top of the ladder  = ?

Solution:

The gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of the body.

  Gravitational potential energy  = Weight x height

So;

 Gravitational potential energy  = 70 x 5.55 = 388.5J

The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together. 
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.
