What else can I help you with?
What would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
If you were trying to heat soup would you want to use a good thermal conductor or a good thermal insulator Explain your answer.?
Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.
Is metal the best thermal insulator?
Metal is a very poor thermal (and electrical) insulator. It is a good conductor of heat (and electricity, obviously). Copper (a metal) is one of the best thermal conductors known to man--most laptops use pieces of copper to transfer the heat from the processor and graphics chips to the heatsync (typically aluminum), where the fan can remove the heat. Materials like foam, rubber, etc. are good thermal insulators (think of pot holders...).
Is a toothpick a conductor or a insulator?
If the toothpick is made of wood or plastic, it would act as an insulator.
Are bulletin boards conductors or insulators?
go with what your gut tells you...i would guess insulator
An example of a insulator?
An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.
What would you expect to make a good insulator?
a poor thermal conductor.
Is a china cup a thermal insulator?
with so many other things out there to use as an insulator it would seem a very bad choice, but yes it would bea good insultor, electricity will not flow through it.
Would wool be a thermal insulator when hill walking?
yes it would as wool reduces heat loss from your body
Which thermal insulator would have the least effect tin foil or brown paper or bubble wrap?
Tin foil is not a thermal insulator and so is irrelevant to the question.Bubble wrap is a better insulator at low temperatures but as the temperature increases bubble wrap will simply melt and provide no insulation at all.
If you were trying to heat soup would you want to use a good thermal conductor or a good thermal insulator Explain your answer.?
Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.
In order to decrease the amount of thermal energy that moves from one place to another you would use a?
Maybe you would, but an 'insulator' would do a much better job.
In order to decrease the amount of thermal energy that moves from one place to another you would use a conductor?
To decrease the amount of thermal energy transfer, you would use an insulator rather than a conductor. Insulators like wool, fiberglass, or foam create a barrier that reduces or prevents the flow of heat. Conductors, on the other hand, facilitate the transfer of thermal energy.

What does the words thermal conductor?
thermal - heat/cold temputures conductor - something that lets things like temputer or eletricity be flowing through it an insulator is the opposite and doesnt let things like temputer or electricy flow through it conductor would be copper insulator would be wood
Which if the following would have the best thermal insulation properties?
A material with low thermal conductivity, such as aerogel, is known to have the best thermal insulation properties. It is lightweight, highly porous, and has excellent heat resistance, making it an efficient insulator.
Is wooden spoon insulator and conductor?
Wood is typically considered an insulator due to its high resistance to electrical conductivity. However, a wooden spoon can conduct heat due to its ability to transfer thermal energy. In terms of electricity, it would be safer to use a material with higher insulating properties.
