because it helps retain energy (in the form of heat) in an enclosure rather than allowing it to escape. Thus conserving the energy in the container it's insulating.

Hope this helped :)

What does the conservaton suggest about the conservation of energy the conservation of matter and the conservation of momentum?

The Conservation of Matter and the Conservation of Momentum are the consequence of the Conservation of Energy.


Light energy is proof of which Conservation Law?

I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum. A photon has both energy and momentum.I am not sure how much of a proof this is; but light energy is involved both in conservation of energy, and in conservation of momentum.

Which of the conservation law does not apply to an inelastic collision?

Both conservation laws are applied. The conservation of momentum and conservation of energy. However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. But total energy IS CONSERVED and the principle of conservation of energy does hold.


How is friction different from the laws of conservation of energy?

There are no "laws" of conservation of energy, just the law of conservation of energy. The existence of friction doesn't change anything - the law of conservation of energy still holds.


Is insulation a method of heat transfer?

Insulation is the exact opposite. Conduction is a method of energy transfer, insulation is the reduction or prevention of energy transfers

Why has thickness requirement in loft insulation changed?

Everything is geared tward energy conservation. A R30 attic blanket is the standard. R38 is better.

What is the conservation energy?

Perhaps you mean "energy conservation", or equivalently, "conservation of energy". That refers to the fact that there is a quantity called energy, which can't be increased or decreased (in a closed system).
