The cotton or wool fibers in a coat keep the air between the layers from moving around easily. This insulation is designed to reduce which of the following forms of 'heat? Convection radiation or touching

Answer 1

The insulation in a coat is designed to reduce heat loss through convection and radiation. It restricts the movement of air between the layers, thereby decreasing convection currents that can carry away body heat. It also acts as a barrier to restrict the transfer of heat through radiation. However, it does not significantly reduce heat loss through direct contact or touching.
