What things are thermal insulators?
some examples are coffe cups, coffe mugs styrofoam cups and coolers.
Which type of cup has better insulation?
A Styrofoam cup has the best type of insulation. These are better cups because they have the lowest thermal conductivity.
Which type of cup will keep a hot drink, warm longer paper, plastic, Styrofoam or glass?
Styrofoam cups are generally the best at keeping hot drinks warm for a longer period of time. This is because Styrofoam is an excellent insulator, meaning it does not conduct heat well and therefore helps to keep the temperature of the drink constant. Paper cups and plastic cups are also decent insulators, but they are not as effective as Styrofoam. Glass cups are poor insulators and are not recommended for keeping hot drinks warm.
What type of substance are hear insulators?
Heat insulators are typically made from made from porcelain rich in alumina or fiberglass.
Which substance is a better heat insulators steel and cotton?
cotton
Is red or green a better conductor?
Red and green are colors, not insulators or conductors. Either insulators or conductors may be red colored or green colored.
What is better paper cups or porcelain cups?
porcelain cups
Is gas or a vacuum a better insulator?
Vacuums make better insulators as convection currents can not form to transport heat energy.
How many type of conducters?
Can you reword the question? Do you mean insulators, instead of conductors?
What do you call poor conductors?
Insulators.
Why is brick a better condutor of heat than air?
Because they act as insulators because of their thickness therefore are better conductors of heat :)
Do metals or non metals conduct heat better?
Metals are better conductors and non-metals are better insulators. Metalloids can be either a conductor or an insulator, it depends on the object.
