Heat can only travel from a hot material to a cold material. It does not travel in the opposite direction. Materials that do not pass heat easily are known as thermal insulators. Insulators include plastic, wood, rubber and glass. Often, objects that are used to transfer heat are made of metal but have an insulator as a handle. A saucepan is an example of an object that is both a conductor and an insulator. The metal part of the pan is a conductor that allows heat to quickly pass from the stove to the food inside the pan. The metal part of the pan, however, it is too hot to touch without receiving burns. That is why most handles are made of insulators, such as plastic or wood.
Potholders and oven gloves also function as insulators. Some materials, like glass, operate as insulators at room temperature but as conductors when heated to high temperatures. Gases like air also become more conductive when heated to higher temperatures. Metals, when heated, do not conduct heat as well as they do when cooled. Many conductive materials operate better at very low temperatures.

Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you so much!
ser-zykov [4K]
Please ignore my comment -- mass is not needed, here is how to solve it. pls do the math

at bottom box has only kinetic energy
ke = (1/2)mv^2
v = initial velocity
moving up until rest work done = Fs
F = kinetic fiction force = uN = umg x cos(a)
s = distance travel = h/sin(a)
h = height at top
a = slope angle
u = kinetic fiction
work = Fs = umgh x cot(a)
ke = work (use all ke to do work)
(1/2)mv^2 = umgh x cot(a)
u = (1/2)v^2 x tan (a) / gh

A gas had a initial volume of 168 cm at a temperature of 255 k and a pressure of 1.6 atm the pressure of the gas decreased to 1.
Mademuasel [1]

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

1.6 × 168 /255 = 1.3 × V₂ / 285

V₂ = 1.6 × 168 × 285 / (1.3 × 255)

V₂ = 231.095

The final volume = 231 cm³
