Why should insulating material be as thick as practicable?

Physics

LenKa [72]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

There are different kinds of insulation (electrical, thermal, etc.), but I'm assuming you mean thermal insulation.

Insulation should be as thick as practicable because the thicker the insulation is, the less heat loss there is.

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Elena L [17]

#1

A point on the outside of a spinning top whose rotational speed is constant.

Since the point at the top is at rest so it will not accelerate at all

A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

Since weight is counter balanced by air resistance so net force on it is zero so acceleration will be zero

A car on the freeway experiencing a net force of -120 N.

Since net force is not zero so it will accelerate here

A submerged beach ball whose buoyant force is eight times the force of gravity on it.

Since buoyant force is more than the weight so it will not at rest and move upwards with some acceleration


#2

A frictionless spinning merry go round.

Since spinning wheel accelerating due to centripetal force so it is non inertial frame

A falling rock.

Falling rock is accelerating due to gravity so it is again non inertial frame

A hot air balloon moving at 30 degrees east of north with no net force.

since hot air balloon is having no force on it so its acceleration is zero and its an inertial frame

A space shuttle whose boosters just ignited for takeoff.

Since space shuttle is accelerating due to boosters so it is non inertial frame

#3

Here net force on it is due to two given forces

F_1 = 4320 N towards right

F_2 = 4380 N towards left

so here net force is given as

F = F_2 - F_1

F = 4380 - 4320 = 60 N

since force towards left is more so the direction will be towards left

so correct answer is 60 N towards left

A jet can travel the 6000 km distance between washington,
Andrei [34K]
<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
 d = 6000 km
 t with the tail wind = 6 hr
 r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
 t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
 r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
 (s+w)*6 = 6000
 (s-w)*7.5 = 6000
 s + w = 1000
 s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
 s = 900 km/h
 s + w = 1000
 w = 100
 Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
 (900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
 800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
 Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>
