Why would hot water in a metal mug cool down more quickly than hot water in a plastic mug?
It depends on how good a conductor the material is. Metal is a better warmth conductor then some plastics.
Is water a better conductor of heat than water?
no
Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
no because aluminum foil is a metal
Why does a metal spoon feel cooler than a piece of wood at 20C?
Because metal has better thermal conductivity than wood. Thermal conductivity depends of the atomic and molecular structure of the stuff. The air is a poor thermal conductor, but water is better.
Why is a blanket a better conductor of heat when it's wet rather than it being dry?
the blanket has water and water is a very good conductor so a wet blanket is a better conductor than a dry blanket
Is cold water a better conductor than hot?
is cold water a better conductor than hot

Is water a better conductor than plastic?
No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.
Is water a better conductor of heat than water?
no
Why are radiators metal?
Metals are a better heat conductor than plastics.
Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
no because aluminum foil is a metal
Why is metal a better conductor of heat than plastic?
Because wood contains water and volatile oils which conduct heat along internal pathways used by the tree to draw water from roots to leaves.
What is the best conductor of transferring energy as heat?
A metal. It's a better conductor than liquid, gas, or rubber.
Is water or aluminum a better conductor?
Aluminum is a much better conductor than pure water. Salty water conducts as well as aluminum, however.
Why does a metal spoon feel cooler than a piece of wood at 20C?
Because metal has better thermal conductivity than wood. Thermal conductivity depends of the atomic and molecular structure of the stuff. The air is a poor thermal conductor, but water is better.
Why is a blanket a better conductor of heat when it's wet rather than it being dry?
the blanket has water and water is a very good conductor so a wet blanket is a better conductor than a dry blanket
Is glass or metal a better conductor?
Glass has a higher conductivity than thin plastic but,it is still lower than metal so metal may be a better conductor
