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.

Answer:

A) Emin = eV

B) Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

Explanation:

Energy of electron is the product of electron charge and the applied potential difference.

The energy of an electron in this electric field with potential difference V will be eV. Since this is the least energy that the electron must reach to break out, then the minimum energy required by this electron will be;

Emin = eV

The maximum stopping potential energy is eVo,

The energy of the electron due to the light is E_light.

If the minimum energy electron must posses is Φ, then the minimum energy electron must have to reach the detectors will be equal to the energy of the light minus the maximum stopping potential energy

Φ = E_light - eVo

Therefore,

eVo = E_light - Φ

Vo = (E_light - Φ) ÷ e

In this type of bond, electrons are lost or gained by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction.

expeople1 [14]

In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms.

arlik [135]

The statement 'establishing a high critical value in a statistical test is associated with more confidence' is TRUE.

<h3>What is statistical significance?</h3>

The statistical significance is a arbitrary value used to indicate that data collected can be used to confirm (or reject) my working hypothesis.

The most widely used value to measure the statistical significance is the p threshold.

In conclusion, the statement 'Establishing a high critical value when calculating the results of a statistical test means that a researcher will have more confidence in finding significance than when a lower critical value is established' is TRUE.
