What else can I help you with?
Is a block of wood a block of wood a good insulator?
Yes, a block of wood is a good insulator because it has low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not easily allow heat to pass through it. Wood is commonly used as an insulating material in buildings to help retain heat.
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
What do you calla substance that reduces heat energy transfer?
An insulator
Is platinum a insulator?
Platinum is a horrible insulator. Being metal, it conducts heat and electricity quite well.
Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
A thermal insulator is designed to keep heat in or out, depending on the direction of heat flow. It reduces heat transfer by trapping air or creating a barrier that slows down the movement of heat energy.
What is the difference between a heat insulator and elctrical insulator?
an electrical insulator blocks the flow of electricity (like the rubber around power cords that stop you from getting electrecuted) and a heat insulator block the flow of heat (like a thermos)
Is a block of wood a block of wood a good insulator?
Yes, a block of wood is a good insulator because it has low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not easily allow heat to pass through it. Wood is commonly used as an insulating material in buildings to help retain heat.
Is wool a good insulator of heat?
yes it is because wool has air pockets which keep in all the heat and block out the conduction of heat, convection and radiation.
Is potato an insulator of heat?
a potato is not an heat insulator because it's skin,but if you take the skin off it will be a heat insulator
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 sponge a good heat insulator?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
What objects block heat and electricity from passing through?
This sounds like you mean insulators. There's no material which is a perfect thermal insulator.
Is nitrogen a good insulator of heat?
Nitrogen is not a good insulator of heat. It is a poor conductor of heat, but it is not an effective insulator as it does not trap heat well and can easily transfer heat through convection or conduction.
An object that can transfer heat easily is an?
An insulator. More specifically, a thermal (heat) insulator, as opposed to an electrical insulator, which suppresses the flow of electricity.
What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
What does a heat insulator do?
. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
What does the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
