Does a good insulator prevent thermal energy from flowing through it?
The insulator slows the transport of energy, so effectively stops it
What type of friction slows down movement?
all friction slows down movement
Why would an iron post be colder than a wooden bench?
Because wood slows down transferring of thermal energy that why an iron post is colder than a wooden bench
On a cold day why would an iron post be colder than a wooden bench?
because the wood slows down transferred of thermal energy thats why an iron post is colder than a wooden bench.
What material stops or slows the movement of electricity or heat?
Insulators.
What type of energy change results when friction slows an object down?
The kinetic energy of the object changes into thermal energy.

How a bicycles kenetic energy changes when the bicycle slows down?
Kinetic energy is the energy that comes from motion. When a bicycle slows down its motion becomes less so its kinetic energy becomes less. when you slow down, your kinetic energy is reduced.
What is Thermal energy relating to a roller coaster?
Thermal energy is heat. Heat is associated with motion (like a roller coaster) because of friction. Friction slows down the speed of an object and changes some of its kinetic energy into heat.
What are thermal insulators?
A thermal insulator slows or stops the passage of heat through it.
What type of friction slows down movement?
all friction slows down movement
Is energy faster or slower when water changes from a gas to a solid?
To condense a subject you must reduce temperature. Reducing the temperature of a substance reduces the amount of heat that the object has, which means less thermal energy. Thermal energy is the energy of molecular motion, so when you reduce it, molecular motion slows.
How is friction related to the law of conservation of energy?
When an object slows down because of friction, its energy is not lost but merely transferred to thermal energy. Since energy naturally disperses as much as possible, the thermal energy gets dispersed throughout the atmosphere. Even though the energy is no longer usable it is still conserved. *see the second law of thermodynamics
Do liquid particles gain energy when they are frozen?
No, liquid particles lose energy when frozen, everything loses energy when frozen and their molecular movement slows down. Their is a state called 0 degrees Kelvin which is the lowest temperature possible. At 0 degrees Kelvin all molecular motion is stopped and all energy is lost. Liquids would gain energy when heated.
Why would an iron post be colder than a wooden bench?
Because wood slows down transferring of thermal energy that why an iron post is colder than a wooden bench
What energy is used to land an airplane?
3 sources of energy are used to land an airplane: # Thermal energy from the airplanes engines. # Kinetic energy from the airplanes movement through the air # Potential energy from the airplanes loss of altitude. The airplane pilot balances the airplanes flightpath and slows the plane taking into account these three energy sources sometimes using one of these to bleed off another (e.g. using the engines to provide an air brake to dissipate the remaining kinetic energy after the airplane is on the runway).
When rocket reenters the atmosphere its nose cone beomes hotwhere does this heat energy come from?
From the rocket's movement energy (formally called kinetic energy). As the rocket slows down through friction, its kinetic energy is converted mainly to heat energy.
