Answer:
A. Air
Explanation:
A thermal insulator is a material that does not let the heat trasmitting through it, or it transmits heat not very efficiently.
Generally, the lower the density of the material, the better insulator the material is: this is because in materials with very low density, particles are very spread apart, so they cannot collide with each other, and so the vibrations of the particles (which determine how hot a substance is) cannot be transmitted very efficiently.
In the options listed in this problem, air is the material with lowest density, therefore it is the best thermal insulator among them.
Answer:
Given the point of maximun electric power of the hair dryer 1500 (w); The circuit breaker won´t trip at all
Explanation:
The most simplyfied relation between power, voltage and current is:
Electric power (in watts) =Voltage (in volts) * current (in ampers)
In the case of P= 1500 (w) and V= 120 (v) we have:
I = 1500/120 (a) = 12,65 (a)
This value is far away of 20 (a) (the nominal trip current
The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.
It should be 0.25kg because you converter from g to kg and since 1g<1kg so you move the decimal to the left
