Which of the following is the best thermal insulator APEX?
Air (Explanation): water has a high specific heat capacity, but it can boil. stone (😂) also is a good thermal insulator, but it can get really hot. Metal is a very good thermal conductor, so it is definitely not that. Therefore, air is the best (its also really hard to boil).
What does very cost efficient mean?
"More bang for your bucks"
What are some advantages and disadvantages of nuclear reactors?
ADVANTAGES 1. releases large amounts of energy from small amounts of mass 2. very efficient 3. fuel lasts a long time 4. convert nuclear energy into thermal energy DISADVANTAGES 1. they are very expensive 2. they are hard to keep up 3. the waste is hard to get rid of
What material is the worst conductor of heat?
the worst conductors of heat are wood, plastic, rubber, and cloth.
Only the positive things about nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is a very clean source of electricity. There are no pollutants put into the air, and it is very efficient.
How do you get salt out of a carpet?
Wash with water; it is very simple and efficient.
Why do down feathers keep a bird warm?
Feathers are efficient structures for trapping air. Motionless air is a very good thermal insulator.
How was the roman aquedut?
It was very efficient at carrying water from a river or lake to a city to provide a clean water supply.
How do you use efficient in sentence?
The hybrid car has proven to be very efficient. My brother is very efficient on his job.
Does saline water conduct electricity?
Yes, saline water conducts electricitywhile distilled water is almost an insulator, salt water is a very efficient electrical conductor.
What is the need for an ammonical buffer solution in the determination of hardness of water by edta titration?
during the complexometric titration using edta it is very necessary to maintain the ph of the solution near about 10 so we use ammonium chloride buffer if we will not use this buffer dring the titration ph of sol. will ho lower side
What are the advantages of using a floor buffer over mopping?
Some advantages of using a floor buffer over mopping are that you will get a very good clean floor. It takes a little less effort to do, and you arnt just pushing dirty water around
Is north Atlantic sea cold?
Yes, if you were in the water with no thermal protection, you would not last very long at all.
Why do deep sea divers need to wear special suits?
Thermal protection - water at depth can be very cold.
What heat transfer uses electromagnetic waves to increase thermal energy?
Microwave Radiation is Very Effectively absorbed by Water molecules, this results in the increased thermal agitation of the Water molecules that absorb the Mw radiation - as found in Microwave ovens.
Why invar steel is used in making pendulum?
Invar has very low co-efficient of thermal expansion. Hence there will be only very little change in expansion when the temperature varies. As a result of which the pendulum does not change its duration of oscillation which is very important for time to be apt. Gmk
What is a sentence using efficient?
He is not a very efficient worker.
