Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
Are train tracks conductors or insulators?
The rails are good conductors The wooden ties they rest on are insulators
Are materials containing air usually good insulators?

What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
What substances are the best insulators?
Usually nonmetals. Rubber, plastic, wood, cloth, paper, Styrofoam, tinfoil (to reflect the heat.)The most common insulator for electricity is plastic.
Why are plastic good electricity insulators?
Plastics are a good electrical insulators because they are insulators. Electricity could not pass through them unlike copper. Another good example of insulators is rubber.
Why are blankets good insulators?
Blankets are defined to be insulators.
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.
What are some good insulators?
plastic, paper, wood, cardboard, and rubber are all good insulators
Why are Popsicle sticks good insulators?
If they are dry they would act as insulators.
Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
Are diapers good insulators?
diapers are good insulators because they hold in the cold and and heat but is a bad conductor
What are some good insulators for a thermos?

Why paper toweling is good insulators?
I think that paper towels are good insulators because if you put a few layers in a cup, they will absorb the water from the ice in the cup, which will keep the temperature in the cup cold enough to keep the ice from melting. Put a wash cloth under the layers of paper towels, the ice will be even better off. Put a plastic wrap over the top of the cup, I am pretty sure that the ice will NOT melt for a few hours! But if this experiment doesn't work, and you have a better answer, then go ahead and change this. Bye!
Are all insulators and conductors solids?
No, most gases are good insulators. Fluids can be good conductors. Mercury is normally a liquid and is a good conductor.
Are insulators good conductor of heat?
Insulators are the complete opposite of conductors. Insulators insulate the heat, but conductors let it pass straight through.
Good insulators of heat?
nonmetals
