They are poor conductors because they keep the heat trapped in one spot, while other materials like metal let the heat go through itself.

Which of the balls will exert the smallest force on object A?Why
olganol [36]
The 1kg ball would exert the smallest force.

As force = mass x gravity, this means that the smaller the mass (kg), the lesser the force.

When the mass is lighter (1kg):

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 1 x 9.8
Force = 9.8N

Compared to when the mass is heavier (10kg)

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 10 x 9.8
Force = 98N

Where this proves that the lighter the mass, the smaller the force exerted.

A box being pushed with a force of 85N slides along the floor with a constant speed. What is the force of sliding friction on th
ElenaW [278]
Because the speed is constant, then that means it's not accelerating. If it's not accelerating, the force is balanced, so the net force is always zero. The frictional force is the same as the force applied. Which is 85N.
