The answer is E. air
Air is a poor conductor of heat. This can be determined through a property called thermal conductivity and has a unit of W/m.K. It is described as a quantity of heat through a unit thickness of material per temperature. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the more it is able to conduct heat. Most gases are poor conductors of heat.

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.

3 An un calibrated mercury in glass thermometer immersed in melting ice. The length of the mercury thread is 25 mm when the ther
sammy [17]

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C    final temperature at 95 mm

What the name for the phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor?
8090 [49]

The phenomenon of inducing voltage by changing the magnetic field around a conductor will be Electromagnetic Induction. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the Faraday law of electromagnetic induction?</h3>

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the rate of change of magnetic flux link with the coil is responsible for generating emf in the coil to result in the flow of amount of current .

So in order to increase the current, we need to increase the EMF;

so we can increase it by;

1) Increasing the number of turns

2) Increase the area of the loop

3) By moving the magnet faster

Hence, option B is correct.
