Explain why gases make better thermal insulators than solids or liquids.​

Physics

Answer:

Solids conduct heat better than liquids, which are in turn better conductors than gases. ... Thus liquids are usually poor conductors of heat. In a gas, the particles are far apart, making energy transfer by collision very inefficient. Thus gases, like air, are very poor conductors of heat.

Gases make better thermal insulators and is due to the more inter molecular distance, and the weak forces among particles of gases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of heat transfer by conduction is varies for different materials. If the materials is less dense they are better insulators and if the material is more dense its insulating property is very less.

An insulator is a material that is poor conductor of heat. In gases the inter molecular forces of attraction is weakest. The particles are very apart from each other.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

8.9 m/s^2

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the lenght of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the pendulum

We notice from the formula that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass of the system

In this problem:

-The pendulum comes back to the point of release exactly 2.4 seconds after the release. --> this means that the period of the pendulum is

T = 2.4 s

- The length of the pendulum is

L = 1.3 m

Re-arranging the equation for g, we can find the acceleration due to gravity on the planet:

g=(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 L=(\frac{2\pi}{2.4})^2(1.3)=8.9 m/s^2

A sentence using terminal velocity
pishuonlain [190]
Terminal velocity is when something stops accelerating and just goes at one constant speed so if you put it into a sentence it would be like the rock falling off of the cliff did not accelerate instead it stayed at a terminal velocity

You are asked to calculate an object's velocity.


In order to do so, you must know the object's speed and the direction

in which it's moving, or you must have other information that makes it

possible for you to calculate its speed and direction.

During a spring vacation, it rained on 13 days. When it rained in the morning, the afternoon was sunny. Every rainy afternoon wa
hammer [34]

Answer:

The holiday lasted for 18 days.

Explanation:

Let's assume the number of days are as following:

let the rain in the morning and lovely afternoon = X days

Clear morning and rain in the afternoon = Y days

No rain in the morning and in the afternoon = Z days

Now according to the question

Number of days with rain = X + Y = 13 days

Number of days with clear mornings = Y + Z = 11 days

Number of days with clear afternoons = X + Z = 12 days

Solving above 3 equations, we get

X = 7,  Y = 6 and  Z = 5

Now  total number of days on holiday = X+Y+Z = 7+6+5 =18

Hence, total number of days on holiday = 18 days.
