Why an empty glass cracks when you pour very hot water into it but it does not crack if there is a metal spoon in it?
As the metal spoon is a good conductor of heat and because heat travels from a hotter reigion to a colder reigion,the metal spoon will conduct heat away from the hot water and thus,the emty glass will not crack.
Why does an empty glass cracks when you pour very hot water into it but does not crack if there is a metal spoon in it?
It will crack because like clay in a hot oven, if all the spots are not covered correctly, it will have a chance of cracking, but when the hot water gets into the crack, it will start to make it bigger. If the expansion is uneven, the glass will break and I don't understand why it won't break with a metal spoon.

How can a rock be split apart?
If it has a small crack in it then gets water in the crack then the water freezes in the crack then the crack gets bigger and bigger until it completely cracks, or use a sledge hammer. Drive dry wooden wedges into the cracks and then soak them. As the wood expands it applies immense pressure to the rock and splits it. Driving wedges into natural cracks does not necessarily give a clean straight split of the rock. A method of splitting rock straight is to hammer a narrow chisel into the rock, rotating the chisel after every strike, making a line of deep holes. Two long semicircular pieces of metal are then put into each of the the holes and a metal wedge knocked in between them. By knocking the wedges in turn the rock splits along the line of the holes.
