Answer: Foam is a good insulator for two reasons. First, it is filled with gas bubbles; gases conduct heat less effectively than either liquids or solids, and trapping the gas in small bubbles prevents the gas from effectively transferring heat via convection.

2. Describe two ways to change the
frictional force between two solids surfaces.
Change the lubrication between the two surfaces
Change the normal force between the two surfaces
3. How does air resistance affect the
velocity of a falling object?
4. What two sources of friction do you
have to overcome when you are walking?
5. If you push a chair across the floor
at a constant velocity, how does the force of friction compare with the force
exert? Explain.
6. If you push a book against a wall
hard enough, it will not slide down even though gravity is pulling it. Use what
you know about Newton’s laws of motion to explain why the book doesn’t fall.
b. malleable and ductile.
c. gases at room temperature.
d. shiny.
Unlike metals, many non-metals are malleable and ductile. Thus, the correct option is B.
Non-metals are those metals which lack all the metallic attributes which are found in metallic elements. The non-metals are good insulators of heat and electricity. They are mostly gases and sometimes also liquid. Some of the elements then are even solid at room temperature include Carbon, sulphur and phosphorus.
A malleable material is the material in which a thin sheet can be easily formed through hammering. Gold is the most malleable metal found in nature. In contrast, ductility can be defined as the ability of a solid material to deform under the tensile stress.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
