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.

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?
vaieri [72.5K]

A

Explanation:

The earth is spherical. So it's middle part is bulgjng outside. So more sunlight will be incident on the latitude near the equator. This will heat the air and it will rise up. This will cause high pressure difference and polar disturbances.

I hope this satisfies you. I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

Answer: Velocity=8.26m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration=Finial velocity (V) - Initial velocity (u) ÷ Time

that is, a=v-u/t

a=1.2m/s², v=?, u=5.5m/s, t=2.3s

From a=v-u/t, make v the subject of the formula

v=at + u

v=(1.2* 2.3) + 5.5

v=2.76+5.5

v=8.26m/s

PLEASE HURRYYYY!!!<br><br> Explain how you read measurements in a graduated cylinder?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Reading a Graduated Cylinder

Place the graduated cylinder on a flat surface and view the height of the liquid in the cylinder with your eyes directly level with the liquid. The liquid will tend to curve downward. This curve is called the meniscus. Always read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus.....

hope it helps....
