Which material is the best heat insulator? metal wood plastic glass

Physics

LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago

Answer:

Wood

Explanation:

The measure of any material to conduct heat is called its thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of metal is very high as compared to insulators and semiconductors.

The thermal conductivity of wood is 0.12-0.04 W/m K. Plastics have thermal conductivity of 0.2 W/m K. The thermal conductivity of fiber glass or foam glass is 0.045 W/m K

Wood is a best heat insulator. This is because, the atoms of wood have much tightly bound electrons.              

Hence, the correct option is (b).

Calculate the linear acceleration (in m/s2) of a car, the 0.310 m radius tires of which have an angular acceleration of 15.0 rad
love history [14]

Answer:

a) The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, b) The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Explanation:

a) A tire experiments a general plane motion, which is the sum of rotation and translation. The linear acceleration experimented by the car corresponds to the linear acceleration at the center of the tire with respect to the point of contact between tire and ground, whose magnitude is described by the following formula measured in meters per square second:

\| \vec a \| = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2} + a_{t}^{2}}

Where:

a_{r} - Magnitude of the radial acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

a_{t} - Magnitude of the tangent acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Let suppose that tire is moving on a horizontal ground, since radius of curvature is too big, then radial acceleration tends to be zero. So that:

\| \vec a \| = a_{t}

\| \vec a \| = r \cdot \alpha

Where:

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

r - Radius of rotation (Radius of a tire), measured in meters.

Given that \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} and r = 0.31\,m. The linear acceleration experimented by the car is:

\| \vec a \| = (0.31\,m)\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)

\| \vec a \| = 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

b) Assuming that angular acceleration is constant, the following kinematic equation is used:

\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}

Where:

\theta - Final angular position, measured in radians.

\theta_{o} - Initial angular position, measured in radians.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If \theta_{o} = 0\,rad, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}, \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, the final angular position is:

\theta = 0\,rad + \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s)^{2}

\theta = 46.875\,rad

Let convert this outcome into revolutions: (1 revolution is equal to 2π radians)

\theta = 7.46\,rev

The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.
