Question

1. Two pots have been sitting on the stove for a while. One pot has a copper handle and the
other has a wooden handle. Which handle would you rather touch? Why?

Answer 1

Answer: the wooden handle

Explanation: The wood handle because metal is a conductor which heats up fast and gets boiling hot which scald your hand off. Metal is an insulator which more likely to conduct heat than wood. the copper handle would heat up quicker speeding up the molecules.

Answer 2

I would rather touch the wooden handle than the copper handle.

A good thermal conductor refers to any material that allows heat to pass through it easily. When a good thermal conductor is exposed to heat for some time, its temperature rises and it feels very hot to touch.

Wood is a poor conductor of heat whereas copper is a good conductor of heat. The copper handle will feel very hot to touch compared to the wooden handle. Therefore, i would rather touch the wooden handle than the copper handle.
