A wooden spoon and a metal spoon are used to stir boiling water. After one minute, how do the temperatures of the immersed parts of the spoons in the water compare? why does the handle of one spoon feel cooler than the handle of the other spoon?
Metal is a conductor. it takes in heat very well. wood is an insulator. it takes in heat too, but less of it. this makes the wood handle cooler and the metal handle hot
