1. A.Yes

2. A.Yes

3. A.Yes

4. A.Yes

Explanation:

1. Wood conducts heat poorly, and yes it has the same property of conductivity even when it is hot. Its thermal conductivity does not changes with temperature if it is uniformly dry and uniformly dense. Its thermal conductivity increases with density and moisture content; thus, light & dry woods are better insulators.

2. Yes, one can grasp quickly and safely the wooden handle of a pan from a hot oven with ones bare hand for a short time.

3. Yes, although the pan handle is hot, not much heat conducted from it to our hand if we grasp it briefly because it has low value of thermal conductivity.

In other words it has high resistance to the flow of heat via conduction. So, the rate of heat transfer is slow, providing us a considerable frame of time to hold it safely.

The explanation can be justified by the Fourier's Law of Thermal Conduction:

Mathematically:

$q=-kA\frac{dT}{dx}$

where:

q= rate of heat transfer through conduction in the material of thermal conductivity kdT= temperature difference across the ends of material through which the heat is being conducteddx= thickness of the ends of material across which the heat is being conducted.

-ve sign is to express that the direction of heat flow is in the direction of decreasing temperature.

4. Yes, it would be a poor idea to do the same with an iron handle because it has higher thermal conductivity which means that more heat is transferred in a short span of time that can cause burn to the bare hands.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
