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).

In addition to average weather conditions, climatological data also describes annual variations and fluctuations of temperature,
drek231 [11]

<u>Answer:</u>

In addition to average weather conditions, climatological data also describes annual variations and fluctuations of temperature, precipitation, wind speed and other variables.

<u>Explanation</u>:

A lot many observations are made all around the world regarding the weather each day. These observations and analysis are done by humans as well as automated instruments. The weather data is collected each day all year and any inaccuracies and discrepancies are checked and rectified. The results are later then presented as the climate data. There are various factors that are taken into consideration while determining the climate of a region. Apart from the factors that are already mentioned, wind speed is also one of the other variables.

A billiard ball (ball #1) moving at 5.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball (ball #2) of the same mass. after the collision, ball #1
Rashid [163]
If it is completely elastic, you can calculate the velocity of the second ball from the kinetic energy 
<span>v1 = velocity of #1 </span>
<span>v1' = velocity of #1 after collision </span>
<span>v2' = velocity of #2 after collision. </span>

<span>kinetic energy: v1^2 = v1' ^2 + v2' ^2 (1/2 and m cancel out) </span>
<span>5^2 = 4.35^2 + v2' ^2 </span>
<span>v2 = 2.46 m/s <--- ANSWER</span>
