Is a pop bottle an insulator or conductor?
I'm not completely sure, but it depends on the material of the bottle I'm pretty sure it's an insulator if its made of plastic. Sorry if I'm not too clear.
Is a hot water bottle a conductor or insulator of heat?
Everything conducts heat, but a hot water bottle is designed to insulate, not conduct, so it doesn't lose heat too quickly and end up a cold water bottle. It does this by using water, which has a high heat capacity (a lot of energy must transmitted to cool it down), plastic, which is an insulator, and a furry coating, which traps still air, which prevents heat loss via convection.
Why does an ice cube melt faster on top of bottle full of water versus an empty water bottle?
Ice cube requires heat to melt.Water conducts heat well. Therefore the temperature of the environment is absorbed by the water and the some of the distributed heat is taken by the cube and it melts.Air is an insulator. The only way heat from surroundings can go to the ice cube INSIDE the water bottle is by convection of air currents. But the convection is restricted to some extent by the almost closed water bottle, which has high(compared to cube size) plastic walls (plastic: heat insulator) on all sides and a narrow mouth. Therefore the convection and thus passing of heat to cube from surroundings is slow and this makes the ice melt slower in the empty water bottle.
Why can't we see through all plastic materials?
You should try looking through any plastic bottle.
How does crushing a plastic bottle work on atmospheric pressure?

Is a plastic bottle a good insulator?
Yes A2: Yes, If it's a Foam cup. Not if it's simply a solid plastic cup.

Glass or plastic what keeps water colder?
Metal - very good conductor of heat. Not a good insulator at all (Don't wrap cans in aluminum foil.) Glass - A little better resistor of heat energy transfer but still not great. Plastic - Depending on the exact material, plastic is probably your best bet. Especially if it's a foam of some sort; the air bubbles in the foam create barriers that heat energy has to cross to be able to escape.
How do you make a plastic bottle boat?
you get a plastic bottle
What is a good insulator for a bottle?
Styrofoam is excellent
What is a thermos bottle made out of?
Traditionally, Thermos bottles used borosilicate glass for the vacuum insulator, with a plastic or metal envelope. Modern Thermoses are typically made entirely of steel.
What kind of shadow does a plastic bottle create?
A plastic bottle shape.
