If a spoon gets hot quickly when used to stir it is probably made of what?
metal
Why does a metal spoon get hot in a pot of boiling water?
'nothing, it's like putting a spoon in a hot soup' Wrong ^ As the metal spoon is a better conductor of heat than the air the hot water (or soup) and the spoon as a larger surface area with the air (or active sight) it transfers heat to the surrounding faster, thus cooling the hot liquid faster.
Why is a wooden spoon better better than a metal spoon for stirring hot soup?
Having low thermal conductivity do not burn your hand.
Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?
Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.
What does metal do when heated?
Well... It gets really hot becuase of the sunlight or energy it gets. The more its been there it gets hotter and hotter.
If a spoon gets hot quickly when used to stir it is probably made of what?
metal
What is the reason that a spoon gets hot when it is in a bowl of hot soup?

Look at figure 6-1 in your text Explain the transfer of energy in diagram and tell why the metal spoon gets hot?
part of the spoon is heated by contact with the hot water .heat is transferred through the metal spoon, particle by paricle, until the entire spoon is hot.
Why does a metal spoon kept in hot tea become hot?
The heat will transfer to the spoon (if metal).
How would a metal spoon help to make a cup of hot tea cool down?
Yes it would, the metal conducts the heat quickly
Hot coffee is stirred with a spoon, the spoon gets hot due to?
King
Which example best demonstrates the process of conduction?
A metal spoon gets warm when used to stir hot soup.
Why does a metal spoon feel hotter than a wooden spoon when in hot water?
because metal is a conductor which likes hot things
You had your soup in your spoon while you microwaved it?
What happens when you have your spoon in the microwave is it gets really hot and melts in the inside where you can't see it
When you touch a hot metal spoon what is the heat is transferred by?
yea

Why does a metal spoon handle gets hot in soup but a plastic spoon handle does not?
Because metals conduct heat really well. Plastics conduct only a little heat with difficulty.
