Definitely air since most metals are conductors and air is an insulator.

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.

Can the kinetic energy of an object be negative? Can the potential energy of an object be negative? Can a potential energy funct
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Kinetic energy cannot be negative

potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is given by the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

here we know that

m = mass of object that can not be negative

v = speed of the object and since its square is given here so it can not be negative

so Kinetic energy is always positive

potential energy is given as the energy due to the virtue of the position of object

so it is

\Delta U = -\int F.dr

so potential energy is a reference dependent quantity and it can be positive as well as negative both

Since potential energy is defined only for conservative force so it can not be found for friction force

What is the scientific saying/principle that explains why a hammer and a screwdriver, both made of steel, are used for different
deff fn [24]

Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

A machine is simply a device that can be used to perform a task. This  machine can be any physical system or device designed to perform a specific task.

The efficiency of the machine describes the easy with which each machine or tool is able to use input power to overcome a task.

Machines are designed to overcome a particular task with little effort in order to increase its efficiency.

Hammer and screwdriver, are both examples of simple machines.

Thus, Hammer and screwdriver perform different tasks because they are both simple machines.

Find an expression for the square of the orbital period.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

T²= 4π²R³/GM

Explanation:

First we know that

Fg= Fc

Because centripetal force must equal gravitational force

So

GMm/R² = Mv²/R

But velocity is 2πR/T

So by substitution we have

GMm/R²= M (2πR/T)/T

We have

T²= 4π²R³/GM as period

How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?
Korolek [52]

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.

A water tank has a mass of 3.64 kg when empty and 51.8 kg when filled to a certain level. What is the mass of the water in the t
mrs_skeptik [129]
Subtract the total mass of the tank and water by the mass of the empty tank. That will yield the mass of the water. 

51.8 - 3.64 = 48.16.

Your answer is 48.16 kg
