Why is blanket a good insulator?
it traps the heat that comes in.
How is a blanket an insulator and how does it help to regulate body temperature?
A blanket is an insulator because it traps air close to the body, creating a barrier that slows down the transfer of heat. This helps regulate body temperature by keeping warmth in and preventing it from escaping, allowing the body to maintain a comfortable temperature.
What is the basic principal involved in a woolen blanket?
A woolen blanket is a good thermal insulator. Actually, air is among the very best of thermal insulator, and the wool fibre /fibreglass fibres, macerated paper, porous foam) serves to keep the air from moving and thus losing heat. Heat could be lost by radiation, conduction, and convection (a special case of conduction and convection combined.). Not of great importance in a blanket, but of importance in clothing is the fact that wool does not absorb water easily.
When evacuated from a swimming pool why are you given a shiny blanket?
The 'Shiny blanket' you refer to is made of aluminum. It is designed to act as an insulator to keep in the heat that you produce. Because you're outside and wet this speeds up evaporation and in turn makes you cold and can cause hypothermia.
Is fabric insulator or conductor?
it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.
How does a womens peacoat keep the warmth in?
A peacoat is made from wool which is a natural insulator. The wool fibres are crimped, which trap tiny pockets of air, and the heat is trapped by these fibres like a blanket.
How does a space blanket reduce heat?
A space blanket reduces heat loss by reflecting a person's body heat back towards them, rather than allowing it to escape. The reflective material on the blanket helps to trap heat and keep the person warm by creating a barrier to prevent heat loss through radiation.
Is a wooden Craft stick a conductor or insulation?
It is an insulator.
Is chalk an insulator or an conductor?
insulator.
Why is a quilt a better insulator than a woolen blanket?
Quilts typically have multiple layers of fabric with batting in between, creating more air pockets that trap warmth. This design helps to retain heat better than a single layer of wool in a blanket. Additionally, the stitching in quilts helps to keep the layers in place, preventing cold spots.
Is a water conductor or insulator?

Is a spatula a insulator or a conductor?
