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.

PLEASE HELP!!!! :D When you look at the Sun through a filtered telescope, the visible portion of the Sun appears blotchy.
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<span>When an individual looks through a filtered telescope in which he or she observes the sun, the portion where it appears blotchy is likely to be called the sunspots while the layer of the sun where it shows where it occurs is called the photosphere.</span>

A child is sitting on the seat of a swing with ropes 5 m long. Her father pulls the swing back until the ropes make a 30o angle
morpeh [17]

Answer:

v = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

As the swing starts from rest, if we choose the lowest point of the trajectory to be the zero reference level for gravitational potential energy, and if we neglect air resistance, we can apply energy conservation as follows:

m. g. h = 1/2 m v²

The only unknown (let alone the speed) in the equation , is the height from which the swing is released.

At this point, the ropes make a 30⁰ angle with the vertical, so we can obtain the vertical length at this point as L cos 30⁰, appying simply cos definition.

As the height we are looking for is the difference respect from the vertical length L, we can simply write as follows:

h = L - Lcos 30⁰ = 5m -5m. 0.866 = 4.3 m

Replacing in the energy conservation equation, and solving for v, we get:

v = √2.g.(L-Lcos30⁰) = √2.9.8 m/s². 4.3 m =3.7 m/s
