Question

1. a material that resists/limits the flow of heat by conduction, convection, and radiation is a(n) _. a. conductor b. insulator c. solar collector d. radiator

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A conductor allows heat flow, so it's incorrect.
• Option B: An insulator resists heat flow via conduction, convection, and radiation, matching the description.
• Option C: A solar collector absorbs heat, not resist it, so incorrect.
• Option D: A radiator emits heat, not resist it, so incorrect.

Answer:

B. insulator
