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.

7. A neutral aluminum rod is at rest on a foam insulating base. A negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

If a negatively charged balloon is brought near one end of the rod but not in direct contact, then <u>the negative charges on the balloon repel the same amount of negative charges on the end of the rod that is close to the balloon</u>, and the positive charges stay at the balloon-side of the rod. The total charge of the rod is still zero, but the distribution of the charges are now non-uniform.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

Pe=___
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

H = start height (v = 0)

h = present height

v = present speed

assuming no friction

total energy = PE + KE

mgH = mgh + .5mv^2

if PE = KE then

mgH = mgh + mgh

h = H/2

potential energy = kinetic energy when object is at half its start height.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

r = 12.0 \mu m

Volume of the pollen is given as

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3

V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3

mass of the pollen is given as

m = \rho V

m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}

so weight of the pollen is given as

W = mg

W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)

W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}

Now electric force on the pollen is given

F = qE

F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)

F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}

\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}
