It does in the winter and keeps the heat in. During the summer it keeps in the cold air and keeps out the heat.

There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness". "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

<h2>Answer: Resonance </h2>

Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when a body capable of vibrating is subjected to the action of a periodic force, whose frequency of vibration approaches the characteristic frequency of vibration (called resonance frequence) of said body. This is due a relatively small force applied in a repeated form, causing the amplitude of the oscillating system to become very large.

In other words, for the specific case of sound waves, this phenomenon occurs when the frequency of the wave that is external to the system or body coincides with the resonance frequency (characteristic frequency that reaches the maximum degree of oscillation) of this system or body.

In these circumstances the body vibrates, progressively increasing the amplitude of movement after each successive actions of the force. However, this effect can be destructive in some rigid materials.

Delilah does 170 Joules of work in 30 seconds. Adam does 260 Joules of work in 20 seconds. Who was more powerful?

sp2606 [1]

Power = $\frac{Work}{Time}$

Delilah: 170J/30s = 5.66 W

Adam: 260J/20s = 13 W
