Question

Several days after snowfall , the roofs of some homes on your street have almost no snow on them, while the roofs on other homes are still covered. Assuming they have all received the same amount of sunlight, give one reason for this observation related to thermal energy & insulation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

This due to thermal insulation of some of the roof.

An insulator is body is a poor conductor of heat and will require high thermal energy to cause temperature changes.

• A house with a roof that is thermally insulated will have poor heat conduction.
• Since little heat is conducted, there wont be enough thermal energy to melt the snow.
• Thermal energy is directly related to heat.
• A house that is not insulated will absorb a lot of heat.
• This will cause the snow to melt very fast.
