The vacuum layer is the better thermal insulator

Explanation:

Depending on how they conduct heat, materials can be classified into two types:

  • Thermal conductos: these are materials that are able to transfer heat efficiently. Examples of thermal conductors are metals in general: in fact, when you heat one side of a metal bar, the other end becomes hot very fast; this means that the heat has been transferred very quickly across the metal rod
  • Thermal insulators: these are materials that do not transfer heat well. In general, gases or rarefied substances are better insulators, because the particles are more spread apart, and therefore the heat (which is transferred by conduction through collisions between molecules) is transferred less efficiently, due to the large distance between the particles.

In this sense, vacuum is the best possible insulator. This is because vacuum contains no particles at all, so there cannot be transfer of heat by conduction (because there cannot be collisions between molecules), and therefore, vacuum is the best thermal insulator.

sweet-ann [11.9K]
To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.

How is the q of an rlc parallel resonant circuit calculated?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

It is calculated by dividing Resistance, R, by Inductive reactance, XL.

Explanation:

Q is called the Q factor of a resonance circuit. In a parallel resonance circuit, it is calculated by finding the ratio of the power stored in the circuit to the power distributed in the circuit. It is a way of measuring the quality of a circuit or how effective the circuit is.

Q factor is the inverse in the resonance series circuit.

Q factor of a resonance parallel circuit,

<h3>Q = R/XL</h3>

R = Resistance

XL = Inductive reactance

a cannonball is fired with a speed of 76 m/s from the top of a cliff. It strikes the plane below with a speed of 89 m/s. if we n
RSB [31]

Answer:

we use the formula,

v {}^{2}  = u {}^{2}  + 2gh

89 {}^{2}  = 76 {}^{2}  + 2(10)h

h = (89 {}^{2}  - 76 {}^{2} ) \div 20

h= 107 m
