None  of the above.
The air gap between the panes adds some thermal   insulation.
About 1/2"  is best.  Less than that  you  get     conduction.  More than that you get more convection between panes.   Double glazed windows do not usually have a vacuum in them --   there could be argon  tho...

Many double-pane glass windows have a partial vacuum between the plates.  This is a so-called VIG or Vacuum Insulated Glass.  This prevents convection from transferring heat (A google search of VIG will reveal this).   Other times a less convective gas (noble gasses) are used since they don't carry heat in rotational modes like other gasses.  In vacuum panes, the main transport of heat is through conduction in the glazing.

What does energy and Newton's Laws (all three) have to do with roller coasters?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Potential Energy is the energy that is waiting to be released like at the top of the roller coaster, Kinetic energy is the energy that is moving the rollercoaster downhill fast.

Three Laws:

The rollercoaster will rest at the top, and then the gears will make it move downhill, and make it stop.

The gears make the rollercoaster move, and in reaction, it pushes back on the gears.

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr
Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s
