Air spaces are used in insulation because air is a poor conductor.
Serhud [2]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is "air is a poor conductor".

Explanation:

Air is a mixture of gases. The amount of heat that can be transferred is minimal through air.

Air is an insulator. Insulator is used to control and slow the transfer of energy from the warmer objects to cooler objects. Air is a bad conductor.

Conductors allow the energy to flow while an insulator stops the flow of energy.

The wool traps air against your body as both wool and air are poor conductor.

Therefore, Air spaces are used in insulation because air is a poor conductor.

when an object receives energy due to heat flow then the kinetic energy of the particles of the object increases because the kinetic energy and the temperature are directly proportional to each others. When heat is added to the object then the movement of the particles increases.

A vector has an x component of -27.5 units and a y component of 41.4 units. Find the magnitude and direction of this vector. mag
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a.) magnitude __49.7__ unit(s)

b.) direction __123.6°_  counterclockwise from the +x axis

Explanation:

Let Vector is v

x-component of Vector v = x = -27.5 units   (minus sign indicate that x-component is along the minus x-axis )

y-component of Vector v = y = 41.4 units

Magnitude of v = ?

Direction of v = ?

To find the magnitude of the vector

                                     v =\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}  }  

                                     v = \sqrt{-27.5^{2}+41.4^{2} }

                                     v = 49.7 units  

To find direction

                                 θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)

                                 θ = tan⁻¹(41.4/-27.5)

                                 θ = -56.4°

This Angle is in the clockwise direction with respect to -x axis.

We need to find Angle counterclockwise from the +x axis.

So,

                                 θ = 180° - 56.4°

                                 θ = 123.6°                

The given vector is in 2nd quadrant

Two hypothetical discoveries in Part A deal with moons that, like Earth's moon, are relatively large compared to their planets.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Unusually large moons form in giant impacts, which are relatively rare events

Explanation:

Solution:

- Finding large moons comparable in size to their planets result from impacts of two astro-bodies. The probability of such an event occurring is very rare.

- Even at the best luck, one moon can be made from the result of giant impact. While the probability of 6 planets having moons of comparable sizes is close to impossible. The transition from an undifferentiated cloud to a star system complete with planets and moons takes about 100 million years.

Why doesn't a radio operating with two batteries function when one of the batteries is reversed? ​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

If you have two batteries and they have precisely the same voltage then placing one backwards will effectively cancel out the voltages and no current will flow. However, batteries aren't like that. The slightest difference in voltages mean that current will flow.

Describing Acceleration
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Negative acceleration occurs when an object slows down in the positive direction.

Positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up in the positive direction.

Explanation: Acceleration can be positive or negative. A negative acceleration is also known as deceleration. And deceleration occurs when an object is coming to rest. While acceleration simply means that an object is Speeding up.

Negative acceleration occurs when an object slows down in the positive direction.

Positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up in the positive direction.
