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.

9.58 A spring of equilibrium length L1 and spring constant k1 hangs from the ceiling. Mass m1 is suspended from its lower end. T
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The distance of m2 from the ceiling is L1 +L2 + m1g/k1 + m2g/k1 + m2g/k2.

See attachment below for full solution

Explanation:

This is so because the the attached mass m1 on the spring causes the first spring to stretch by a distance of m1g/k1 (hookes law). This plus the equilibrium lengtb of the spring gives the position of the mass m1 from the ceiling. The second mass mass m2 causes both springs 1 and 2 to stretch by an amout proportional to its weight just like above. The respective stretchings are m2g/k1 for spring 1 and m2g/k2 for spring 2. These plus the position of m1 and the equilibrium length of spring 2 L2 gives the distance of L2 from the ceiling.

What is the use of 'ground' in electric circuit?
ss7ja [257]

In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth. Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons.
