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

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.

Which particles contribute to the net charge and how does each change the net charge?
Licemer1 [7]

The two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

Atom is the smallest possible amount of matter which still retains its identity as a chemical element, now known to consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.

The atom is made up of three components called subatomic particles as follows;

  • Protons
  • Electrons
  • Neutrons

The proton is the positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atomwhile the electron is the subatomic particle having a negative charge and orbiting the nucleus.

This suggests that the two subatomic particles that contribute to the net charge of an ion are electrons and protons. That is;

Net charge = protons - electrons

At t=0 bullet A is fired vertically with an initial (muzzle) velocity of 450 m/s. When 3s. bullet B is fired upward with a muzzl
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

At time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.

Explanation:

Let h be the height at which this occurs and t be the time after second bullet fires.

Distance traveled by first bullet can be calculated using equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^2 \\

Here s = h,u = 450m/s a = -g and t = t+3

Substituting

h=450(t+3)-0.5\times 9.81\times (t+3)^2=450t+1350-4.9t^2-29.4t-44.1\\\\h=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9

Distance traveled by second bullet

Here s = h,u = 600m/s a = -g and t = t

Substituting

h=600t-0.5\times 9.81\times t^2=600t-4.9t^2\\\\h=600t-4.9t^2 \\

Solving both equations

600t-4.9t^2=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9\\\\179.4t=1305.9\\\\t=7.28s \\

So at time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Height at t = 7.28 s

h=600\times 7.28-4.9\times 7.28^2\\\\h=4108.31m \\

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.
