How does the temperature remain constant in a vacuum flask. Explain why in can do so over a long period of time?

Vacuum is a great insulator, because there needs to be some medium for processes of conduction or convection to occur. The only possible way to transfer heat through vacuum is radiation, which is not as effective, especially that flask walls are also constructed to limit radiation heat transfer(they are reflective).
Temperature stays the same if there are no means to transfer energy between interior end environment.

What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?
The constant k is a...constant specific for the system considered.
Does the frequency of a wave remain constant if the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
no
Why does temperature remain constant when wax solidifies?
the breaking of intermolecular bonds
What happens to temperature as energy is added to a substance that is changing state?
The temperature remain constant during the phase changing.
Will the period of a vibrating swing increase decrease or remain constant by addition of more weight?
The time period of a vibrating swing will remain constant by addition of more weight because time period depends upon the length of the pivot or string to which the mass (bob) is attached. Period of the swing is independent of the mass of the bob.
What must remain constant for Boyle's law to be true?
1. A more correct name is Boyle-Mariotte law. 2. Only the temperature must remain constant.
The variable that Boyles law holds constant is?
Temperature remain constant.
What happen to the temperature during phase change?
The temperature remain constant.
Which variables must be kept constant for Boyle's law to hold?
The temperature must remain constant.
What is the constant and the variables in Boyles law?
The constant k is a...constant specific for the system considered.
What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?
The temperature and speed remain constant.
Does the frequency of a wave remain constant if the medium temperature and pressure do not change?
no
What does not remain constant during and experiment and is used to measure change?
Temperature.
Why does temperature remain constant when wax solidifies?
the breaking of intermolecular bonds
What must the temperature be for the gas to remain at a constant pressure?
"Constant pressure" means the pressure must not change.
How are the absolute temperature and volume of a gas at constant pressure related?
They're proportional; as temperature increases volume increases.
Why does the temperature of the planet remain in a constant balance?
It doesn't. This is known as "climate change".
