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.

A 45.0 kg skater is skating at a speed of 12.0 m/s. The skater coasts to a speed of 6.00 m/s. How much kinetic energy has the sk
ratelena [41]
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object that is moving. It is calculated from one-half the product of the mass and the change in square of the velocity of the object. It is the opposite of potential energy which the energy possessed by an object at rest. We calculate as follows:
KE = mΔv^2 / 2 = 45 ( 6^2 - 12^2 ) = -4860 J had been lost by the skater

Which principle explains how fiber optics can transmit data in the form of light pulses over large distances with little loss in
Lena [83]

fiber-optic cable is composed of two concentric layers, called the core and the cladding, as illustrated in Figure 3-1. The core and cladding have different refractive indices, with the core having a refractive index of n1, and the cladding having a refractive index of n2. The index of refraction is a way of measuring the speed of light in a material. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. The actual speed of light in a vacuum is 300,000 kilometers per second, or 186,000 miles per second.

Caculate the component of a force of 200 ns <br>at a direction of 60° to the force​
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

F_x = 100N

F_y = 100\sqrt 3 \ N

Explanation:

Given

F = 200N

\theta = 60^o

Required

The component of the force in F direction

To do this, we simply calculate the force in the vertical and horizontal direction.

This is calculated as:

F_x = F * \cos(\theta) --- Horizontal

F_y = F * \cos(\theta) ---- Vertical

So, we have:

F_x = F * \cos(\theta) --- Horizontal

F_x = 200N * \cos(60^o)

F_x = 200N * 0.5

F_x = 100N

F_y = F * \cos(\theta) ---- Vertical

F_y = 200N * \sin(60^o)

F_y = 200N * \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}

F_y = 100\sqrt 3 \ N
