Answer:

R-factor.

Explanation:

Insulation can be defined as the process in which physical objects (materials) oppose the flow of current by providing a least resistance path or the opposition to the conduction of heat energy.

R-factor is an abbreviation for thermal resistance. The R-factor is the most commonly used measurement for providing all of the informations about the insulating properties of an insulator. Therefore, the measurement used for insulation is called the R-factor.

Most manufacturers specify the R-factor on the label of an insulating material.

Generally, the higher the R-factor of an insulating material the better it is for insulation.

Hence, the ability of a material to prevent the flow of heat or electricity (current) is largely dependent on its R-factor.

These question all about ice storms!!!!!!!! answer them in complete sentence
Arisa [49]
The scale used to measure the intensity of ice storms is called the Sperry–Piltz Ice Accumulation Index, <span>based on the expected footprint of an ice storm, the expected ice accumulation as a result of a storm, and the expected damage a storm inflicts on human-built structures.

Meteorologists use Dual Polarization Radar, and the Q2 a mix of sensors and algorithms to predict precipitation.

Yes ice storms can be predicted by weather agencies, and it depends how fast it is detected and how severe it is.

Helppp please Explain your observations in terms of potential and kinetic energy
Kryger [21]
Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts. However, it isn't affected by the environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height. On the other hand, kinetic energy is the energy of an object or a system's particles in motion.
