What is a material that slows the flow of heat and electricity?
An insulator is a material that slows the flow of heat and electricity. Electrical wires need insulators periodically along it's length over whatever distance.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
Does a good insulator prevent heat from getting through it or does it simply slow its passage?
yes insulators reduce the flow of heat because it doesnt allow for heat to go through very easily. alexis marroquin
What is something that resists the flow of heat or electricity?
Something that resists the flow of heat or electricity is called and insulator. An example of this would be rubber. That is why we have rubber around all of our computer cords, lamp cords, phone chargers, etc.
What factor free covection heat flow depends?
The only factor that free convection heat flow depends on is the conductivity of the material. Heat moves toward a cold area and heat it up and the reverse is true for cold, it will cool down something warm.

When the flow of a river slows is the sediment deposited?
Yes, when the flow of a river slows the sediment is deposited.
when the flow of a river does what the sediment is deposited?
The flow of water slows enough for the silt to be deposited.
What do you call something that does not let heat flow through it?
A thermal insulator.

What is convection and conduction and what is the difference?
Convection is heat flow by means of moving matter. It only works in fluids (i.e. liquids and gases). Conduction is heat flow by means of direct physical contact. Radiation is heat flow by means of electromagnetic waves. It can work through a vacuum. Heat always naturally flows from something "hot" to something "cold". This is a form of entropy.
How does turbulence affect the speed of a river?
it slows the streams flow
Cold weather slows down the process of?
a liquid to flow.
when a river slows down what does it do to the sediment its carrying?
As a river flow slows, the sediment starts to settle out. The water at the river's edge often has the lowest flow or movement so there will be more sedimentation.
What factor free covection heat flow depends?
The only factor that free convection heat flow depends on is the conductivity of the material. Heat moves toward a cold area and heat it up and the reverse is true for cold, it will cool down something warm.
