There is no general speed. The efficiency of the insulator can be measured by how long the heat takes to pass through.

What is hydro thermal energy kids version?
Hydrothermal energy is generated through the earth's hot water. The water is produced underground, and heated by the earth's thermal heat.
How is heat different from thermal energy?
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.
How is the rate of a cooling of a building affected by the thickness and the thermal conductivity of its walls?
Generally thicker walls slow down the transfer of heat, and if the material is a good thermal conductor that will increase the rate of transfer.
Is a sizzling plate a conductor or insulator?
conductor is the answer. why? because it is a sizzling plate it is of course absorbing heat into the plate and making it conductor because of the thermal energy being high due to the temperature, so high thermal energy is equal to being hot. Hopes this helps
What does heat travel with easily through metals?
Metals are good heat conductors. The electrons are also exicted by thermal energy and that thermal energy rapidly moves to other atoms.
Does a good insulator prevent thermal energy from flowing through it?
The insulator slows the transport of energy, so effectively stops it
What you is the name for anything that does not let heat energy flow through it?
Thermal insulator
A material that conducts thermal energy poorly?
A material that doesn't conduct heat well is called an insulator.
What material conducts thermal energy poorly is a?
thermal insulator
Is aluminum an insulator or conductor of thermal energy?
Aluminum is a conductor of thermal energy and electrical energy.
A material that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal?
Something that conducts thermal energy well is a thermal...conductor. If it does not conduct well it is called an insulator.
Distinguish between a heat conductor and an insulator.?
A heat conductor readily conducts thermal energy; an insulator inhibits flow of thermal energy.
Material that condscts thermal energy well?
a conductor does, while an insulator poorly conducts thermal energy!
Which term defines something that does not transfer thermal energy efficiently?
conductor
What is an object called if energy is not transferred through it easily?
It is called insulator. However, it must be noted for what type of energy it is to insulated (Heat or thermal energy, Electrical energy, Sound energy, Seismic or vibration energy) i.e. metal vacuum thermal insulator may not be a good electrical insulator or sound insulation may not be a suitable thermal insulation. It is to noted for the application limited such as Poly urethane is good for low temperature insulation but not good to insulate hot pipe.
What term is used for something that does not transfer thermal energy efficiently?
insulator
Which term defines something that doesnt transfer thermal energy efficiently?
An insulator
