Answer:
So the answer would be water based on the evidence shown below.
Explanation:
Mercury is a poor conductor of heat but good for electricity, water is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity, wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity, and glass is probably the worst conductor of heat.
Answer:
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Explanation:
Internal energy of the system changes by ΔE = 178 J.
Heat given to the system = Q = +658 J.
According to the first law of thermodynamics,
ΔE = Q + W
178 = 658 + W
∴ W = 178-658 = -480 J
Minus sign indicates that work is done by the system.
Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.
Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.
Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.
It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.
