Question 4 • Physical Science

How does a foam-filled winter coat help keep a person warm?

Answer
A
It slows down the transfer of thermal energy from outside to inside the coat.
B
It speeds up the transfer of thermal energy from outside to inside the coat.
C
It speeds up the transfer of thermal energy from inside to outside the coat.
D
It slows down the transfer of thermal energy from inside to outside the coat.

Explanation

A foam-filled coat traps air, which is a poor conductor of heat. This insulation slows the transfer of thermal energy from the warmer person inside the coat to the colder air outside, helping the person stay warm. The correct choice is “It slows down the transfer of thermal energy from inside to outside the coat.”
