Question

An investigation involves determining which metal is better for making pots that will cook food faster.

Which is the best hypothesis to use for this investigation?
Copper is better than iron for making pots.
Copper is more malleable and heats up faster than iron.
If copper is a better conductor, it will heat up faster than iron.
If copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots.

Answer 1

Answer: I'm pretty sure it's  If copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots.

Answer 2

Answer:

The right hypothesis to use for the investigation is "If copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots".

Explanation:

• For making of pots the main thing required is the conduction capacity so that it can heat up fast.

• As copper has very high value of conduction it can heat up the pot much faster than iron. Numerically copper heats up 5 times faster than iron, so using copper the heat is saved from wasting.
