Why is temperature scalar?

Where is the potential energy throughout the loading, cocking, and releasing of the trebuchet?

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line. what does this indicate about the object's acceleration?
