Answer:

Feathers are great thermal insulators.

Explanation:

Feathers are great thermal insulators. The loose structure of down feathers traps air.

As a result, energy cannot be transmitted easily through down feathers. This means birds are insulated from cold air outside, plus their body heat doesn't escape easily either.

Human beings discovered that down feathers are good for insulation long ago. For example, documents from the 1600s show that Russian merchants sold “bird down" to the Dutch hundreds of years ago.

Today, down is used in all sorts of products, including coats, bedding, and sleeping bags, to help better insulate the user from cold weather. Down can be collected from many different types of birds, but most of today's supply comes from domestic geese.

If you have a down coat or comforter, is it all down? In the United States, laws require that products labeled “100 percent down" contain only down feathers.

If your product is labeled “down," it can contain a mixture of both down feathers and synthetic fibers. Not all down feathers are created equal, though.

Down insulation is rated on a measure called “fill power." The higher the fill power, the more the down insulates.

The highest fill-power rating — 1200 — goes to eiderdown, which comes from the Common Eider duck. Eiderdown tends to be expensive.

In electronic circuits:______.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

(a), (c) and (e) s correct.

Explanation:

a. the power used by a circuit is the resistance times the current squared.

The power is given by P = I^2 R, so the statement is correct.  

b. electric and magnetic fields are transporting the energy.

false

c. electrons are transporting the energy.

The energy is transferred by flow of electrons. It is correct.  

d. the power used by a circuit is the voltage times the current squared.

The power is given by P  = V I, the statement is wrong.  

e. the power used by a circuit is the current times the voltage.

The power is given by P  = V I, the statement is correct.

asambeis [7]
EC_1 + EP_1 = EC2 + EP_2

EC_2 = 0

EC_2 = EP_1 - EP_2

EC_2 = mg(H_1 - H_2) = 0.20 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * (3.25 m - 1.5m) = 3.43 J
