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.

Which statement is incorrect when considering gases? 1. Gas molecules are in constant, random motion at room temperature 2. The
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

For gases :

1. The motion of gases molecule is in random manner at the room temperature.

2.The distance between the gas molecule is more and that is why gas can be compress.

3.The attraction force between the gas molecule is negligible or we can say that there is no any force between the gas molecules.that is why gas can be filled in the container.But the motion of the gas molecule does not stop they are still moving inside the container but the space for movement become less.When a gas container heated then the container start to vibrate because the movement of the gas molecule.

So the option 4 is incorrect.

Calculate the kinetic energy, in joules of a 1160-kg automobile moving at 19.0 m/s.
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

K.E=1/2 mv²

m=1160 kg

v=19.0 m/s

so k.e=1/2*1160*(19.0)²

K.E=1/2*1160*361

K.E=1/2*418760

K.E=209380=2.0*10^5 j
