Joan placed a metal spoon in a pot while boiling some water to make soup After a while she found that the metal spoon is too hot to pick up She wondered how the metal spoon became so hot?
Metal is a good conductor. Loosely held electrons can bump into other atoms and help transfer thermal energy.Transfer of heat.
Is a spoon magnetic?
It completely depends on what material the spoon is. Some stainless steel spoons are magnetic, while others are not. It depends on the iron content in the spoon. I have spoons at home which are magnetic in the bowl of the spoon and not on the handle, because of particular processing the metal has undergone.
Why does a bimetallic strip bend when heated?
A bimetallic strip bends when heated because it is composed of two different types of metal. The different metals form the two sides of the strip expand and contract at different rates when subjected to a temperature change. When heating a bimetallic strip, one side of the metals expands faster than the other, making it longer. Because it is bonded to the other metal, it cannot expand in a straight line. The only way the two metals can stay bonded while expanding at different rates, is for strip to bend, one side becoming longer than the other.

Why does distortion happen in welding?
As metal is heated it expands. Heat travels thru metals causing it to expand while the adjacent areas are relatively cool and not expanding. The areas in the weld zone become molten and expand more than the rest of the metal. As this metal expands the cooler area around it prevents it from doing so causing the material to move in a different direction. As the metal cools it contracts and tries to return to its original size/shape causing some of the cooler metal to prevent that from happening. Preheat and postheat can keep this from becoming too severe. Cast iron must be treated this way to prevent it from cracking.

How many pounds of steel is used to make one metal spoon?
While the process of making a metal spoon may use hundreds, or even thousands, of pounds of steel used to make the spoon, the spoon itself is usually not what most people would consider steel. A spoon, generally is only a few ounces and is usually made from copper, stirrling silver, or stainless steel.
Can you keep a metal cold while heat is burning on the other side?
It depends on the following. 1) specific heat conductivity of the metal being heated 2) type and rate of cooling adopted to remove heat
If you leave a metal stirring spoon in a pot of soup while the soup is heating the spoon will quickly get hot because of?
It will depending on the tempature. If you have it on a high tempature it will surely get hot quickly.

Why does the handle of a metal spoon got hotter than a wooden spoon?
Metal is a good conductor of heat. Wood is not a good conductor of heat, although I wouldn't exactly call it an insulator of heat either. If you put a wooden spoon halfway into a pot of hot water, the dry part of the spoon will not get hot even though the wet half will be as hot as the water is, if you leave it in for a while. But if you heat up a wooden spoon and keep it dry, let's say by leaving it on a baking sheet and baking it in the oven along with some cookies, you may be able to grab the spoon and pick it up even though it's hot. There's no way you could do that with a metal spoon because you'd "feel" the heat more with metal. The heat would be conducted from the metal spoon to your skin, but a wooden spoon won't conduct much heat to you.
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.
Joan placed a metal spoon in a pot while boiling some water to make some soup after a while she found that the spoon was too hot to pick upcan you explain why the metal spoon was too hot?
Nature works this way - it tends to try to reach what is called equilibrium - meaning that if you put an hot object and a cool object near each other, and don't apply any external energy, the cool object will absorb heat from the warm object and the warm object will cool off as it loses heat energy.
