How does cotton balls prevent losing heat?
They're insulators
What would be an example of a good insulator?
Insulators are objects that prevent the transfer of heat, so some good insulators would be cotton balls, tin foil/aluminum foil, socks, rubber etc. Get what I mean ? :O Later days, dude or dudette whatever you are.....
Is cotton wool a good conductor of heat?
its a good insulator, meaning that yes, it is a good non-conductor. Materials that insulate heat, eg wool, cotton etc, are also by definition good electrical insulators. Good conductors would include most metals, which you may have noticed are bad insulators. you wouldn't wear metal underwear anyway!
What materials are good for egg drops?
Cotton Balls,Package Peanuts,Balloons,And Tissues

Are cotton balls good for the environment?
Ya, they are!!!
Which substance is a better heat insulators steel and cotton?

Is a cotton shirt insulators or a conductors?
semi conductor
What are some examples of a good insulator?
Examples of good insulators include rubber, glass, wood, plastic, and ceramic materials. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electricity or heat, making them effective at blocking the transfer of energy.
Why is cotton balls a good insulator?
cotton balls are a good insulator because they contain many air filled spaces, the tiny pockets trap air in the cotton balls preventing energy from being transferred. So there is less heat transfer.
