What else can I help you with?
Can thermal insulators keep warm things warm?
Yes, that is their purpose.
What do thermal insulators have?
Thermal insulators have insulating capabilities. This means that they do not have any aspect that allows them to conduct thermal energy.
What is the opposite of thermal insulators?
The opposite of thermal insulators are thermal conductors. Thermal conductors are materials that allow heat to transfer easily through them, while thermal insulators are materials that block the transfer of heat.
What kinds of materials make good insulators?
There are a number of materials that make good thermal insulators. Blankets and pockets of air make good thermal insulators for example.
Does not transfer thermal energy?
Thermodynamic Insulators
What does not transfer thermal energy?
Thermodynamic Insulators
What are thermal insulators?
A thermal insulator slows or stops the passage of heat through it.
What makes good thermal insulators and conductors?
Good thermal insulators have high thermal resistance and low thermal conductivity, which helps to slow down heat transfer. Materials like foam, fiberglass, and wool are good insulators. Good thermal conductors, on the other hand, have high thermal conductivity and allow heat to transfer quickly. Copper, aluminum, and silver are examples of good thermal conductors.
What do you call substances that will not let thermal heat pass through them?
thermal insulator
Can you name all the good thermal insulators?
yes
What is the term fornmaterials that have very low thermal energy and resistance?
The term for materials that have very low thermal energy and resistance is insulators. Insulators prevent the transfer of heat and electricity due to their high electrical resistance and low thermal conductivity. Examples of insulators include rubber, glass, and plastic.
Should the ceramic tiles on a shuttle be good thermal conductors?
No. They should be good thermal insulators.
