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.

An object is placed on a surface. A student tries to apply various combinations of forces on the object. Which pair of forces wi
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as there are no diagrams or options to provide more information to the question.

The general explanation is as follows:

For the object not to move

(1): The forces acting on the object must opposite each other. i.e. if force A acts at the right (or positive direction), force B will act at the left (or negative direction).

(2) The two forces must be equal.

So, for instance:

If the pair of forces are 5N and 5N in opposite directions, the object wil not move.

However, if one of the forces is greater, the object will move towards the direction of the greater force.

A 12.0 khz, 16.0 v source connected to an inductor produces a 4.00 a current. what is the inductance?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Inductive reactance (Z) = ω L  =  2Πf L = (2Π) (12,000) (L)

I = V / Z

4 A = 16v / (24,000Π L)

Multiply each side by (24,000 Π L):

96,000 Π L = 16v

Divide each side by  (96,000 Π) :

L = 16 / 96,000Π  =  5.305 x 10⁻⁵ Henry

L = 53.05 microHenry

Change in momentum: finial momentum - initial momentum
Momentum = mass * velocity
Mass = 100g, same as 0.1kg
m(v-u) = 0.1(10-2) = 0.1(8)

The movement of protons through atp synthase occurs from the
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.
