Many materials, styrofoam is a common one. Even air can be used to insulate heat. All materials have a thermal conductivity, in the unit Watts/meter*Kelvin. The lower the number, the less heat it transfers. So technically any material is an insulator, there are just very good ones and very poor ones.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is it true that heat is an example of insulator?
No, heat is not an example of an insulator. Insulators are materials that do not conduct heat well, such as wood or plastic. Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Which tissue functions as an insulator?
Adipose tissue functions as an insulator due to its ability to store energy in the form of fat and provide thermal insulation for the body. It helps regulate body temperature by acting as a barrier against heat loss.
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
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
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 the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
What does a heat insulator do?
. A insulator is an element in the genetic code.
Why is insulation a good insulator?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
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)
How is a sound insulator similar to and different from a heat insulator?
vvvvvvv
Is padded fabric conductor or insulator of heat?
probably insulator
