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).

Of the materials listed wood is the best insulator. It would be the least hot if exposed to similar temperatures.

What is the meaning of the saying "the power of a lens is 1 dioptre "​
timama [110]

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

How does the color of water affect its evaporation rate
olga_2 [115]
Well my thinking is that the lighter the slower the water evaporates or the darker the faster becuase dark colors absorb light and allows a lot of heat to be generated or not at all.
