Answer:

insulation

Explanation:

Conductivity represents the degree of ease through which heat is transmitted through a material.

Any substance that has a high conductivity i.e., can pass heat easily is called a conductor of heat.

Any substance that has a low conductivity i.e., cannot pass heat easily is called a insulator of heat.

Air does not conduct heat well. So, it acts an insulator and traps heat.

Infer whether a system can have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time

Rasek [7]

Yes, an object can have both of these at the same time. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. So what you have to have is an object that is in motion but still has more energy that it has yet to convert into kinetic energy.

A diver can change his rotational inertia by drawing his arms andlegs close to his body in the tuck position. After he leaves th

NeX [460]

Answer:

3.14946 rad/s

Explanation:

$I_i$ = Intial moment of inertia

$I_f$ = Final moment of inertia

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = $\dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi\ rad/s$

$\dfrac{I_f}{I_i}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

In this system the angular momentum is conserved

$L_i=L_f\\\Rightarrow I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{I_f\omega_f}{I_i}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=\dfrac{1\times \dfrac{2}{1.33}\times 2\pi}{3}\\\Rightarrow \omega_i=3.14946\ rad/s$

The angular velocity when the diver left the board is 3.14946 rad/s
