Because they have freely moving electrons that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily

3 0

Answer:

Conduction is usually faster in certain solids and liquids than in gases. Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are especially good thermal conductors because they have freely moving electrons that can transfer thermal energy quickly and easily.

Heat transfer by convection happens through the air, and there are millions of minuscule air spaces between the fibers. Heat transfer by radiation is also slow since one fiber must radiate its heat to another.

When we give heat then kinetic energy is increase and this heat is transferred from hot metal to cold metal through this free electrons. As in insulator the free electrons are negligible so that the heat is not transferred from hot junction to cold junction due to absence of this free electrons.

HELP PLEASE BOYLES LAW
kogti [31]

Answer:

3 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

Using the Boyle's law equation, the new volume (i.e final volume) of the Ne gas can be obtained as:

Initial volume (V₁) = 2 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.75 atm

Final pressure (P₂) = 0.5 atm

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

0.75 × 2 = 0.5 × V₂

1.5 = 0.5 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.5

V₂ = 1.5 / 0.5

V₂ = 3 L

Thus, the new volume of the Ne gas is 3 L

Hold the paper up to a mirror so
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The image of everything in front of the mirror is reflected backward, retracing the path it traveled to get there. Nothing is switching left to right or up-down. Instead, it's being inverted front to back. ... That reflection represents the photons of light, bouncing back in the same direction from which they came
