cloth burns the fastest then paper the second fastest and wood burns the slowest
The speed of oxidation (combustion) of a material is dependent upon several factors, including but not limited to the surface area of exposed material, available oxygen, moisture content and heat of combustion. All three of these materials can be caused to burn at a faster or slower rate than each other by varying their properties. A pile of folded newspapers, a pile of matchsticks and a pile of clothes, the matchsticks might burn faster, separate the clothes in layers with air pockets and add a fan the clothes might burn faster. crumple the paper into balls and that might burn faster. Use an accelerant like gasoline and that might help something burn even faster, because of a hotter flame.
Note: some types of cloth and paper do not burn at all.

∙ 13y agoCombustion of a solid material is a surface process, and for a given weight, paper has more surface than wood.
But wood wool (shredded food fibres) would burn rapidly.
[And nothing to do with the above, steel wool as used in scouring pads, if clean and free of soap, may be set alight with an ordinary wooden match! You'll see the red flame progress through the material. ]

∙ 13y agopaper burns faster than cardboard bcause paper is thinner than card board and the heat can spread easily through the paper and the paper can attain the ignition temperature easily.
hope u find this answer useful!

∙ 11y agoThere is more than one type of foam, and some types of foam don't burn at all. Even the speed at which paper burns is not always the same. Are we talking about individual sheets of paper, or books made of paper? Paper in compact masses burns more slowly than paper in individual sheets. So the question really is ambiguous.

∙ 10y agoThat depends on such factors as available air and heat. Construction paper is more dense than notebook paper, so it would take more heat to initially catch on fire.

∙ 13y agoProbably paper, because cardboard has much more mass than paper does.

What is the dye in construction paper?
Synthetic dyes are responsible for the colors of construction paper. When construction paper was first used, The colors were added by vegetable oil and pigments.
Will red construction paper get hotter than blue construction paper under a lamp?
it really doesn't matter because it still is the same type of construction paper.
Which falls faster a book or a sheet of paper?
it actually depends on the surface of the thing . it does not depends on the weight. if the paper is flat the book will come down faster but if the same paper crumple the paper will come down faster try it your self
At what temperature does paper burn?
Although there are many different paper types, normal cellulose paper will burn at 451°F.
How much does a sheet of construction paper cost?
.50 cents at Target.
Which paper burns faster newspaper notebook paper or toilet paper?
Toilet paper will burn faster than newspaper or notebook paper because it is thinner and less dense. Additionally, toilet paper is designed to break down quickly when exposed to moisture, making it easier to ignite and burn.
Why do paper burn faster than plastic?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Why plastic burns faster than paper?
Paper burn faster than plastic due to its thick texture.
Which burns faster paper or wood?
Paper burn generally faster; but this depends also on the physical form of the material, humidity etc.
Which paper burns faster graph paper lined paper computer paper or construction paper?
The labels for your types of question are probably too vague or ambiguous to answer with 100% certainty. Typically, Graph and Lined paper will be made from the same stocks so should burn at the same rate. Computer paper has varying weights(15,18,20) and could manufactured from Groundwood, Virgin or Recycled content. The same can be said for construction paper as there are many different grades of that paper as well. Theoretically, going with the heaviest weights and best grades of all types listed above, the construction paper should burn the fastest. This will happen because construction paper is typically a softer surface which means it is more porous allowing oxygen to feed your fire.
What will burn faster a crumpled paper or a flat one?
stone is faster than paper because it has more mass so more gravity include on it
Does oxygen burn even faster than paper?
No. Oxygen is not flammable. Rather, it is what allows flammable materials to burn.
What happens when you burn a paper with lemon juice on it?
When you put lemon juice on a piece of paper, then place the paper on a heat source, the parts soaked with the juice will burn faster and turn a dark brown. This chemical reaction is based upon the properties that define acids and bases. The paper with the acid lemon juice is weakened by the acid, and will burn faster.
What burn faster paper or leave?
This depends on the type of paper, the nature of the leave, humidity, physical form etc.
Why does paper burn faster than metal?
Paper is more highly flammable. Paper contain organic compounds as cellulose which are very flammable.
You need a good explanation for this question What burns faster paper wood or cardboard?
Paper burns faster as there is less mass to burn and less energy in paper, If it were wood, due to the mass of the wood it would burn Longer and brighter and less lengthened and less brighter for Cardboard.
In order which paper will decompose faster notebook magazine construction paper computer paper or newspaper in 15 days in manure?
Newspaper will likely decompose faster in 15 days in manure compared to notebook, magazine, construction, and computer paper. This is because newspaper is typically made of less durable fibers and has less coating or additives, making it easier to break down.
