None are repellant, but some absorb heat more readily & some radiate it more efficiently. Copper/brass is used for radiators for this reason, aluminum is good, but takes a larger tube/more fins. Alum. is superior to iron. For example, you can run more compression with aluminum cylinder heads because they run cooler than stock iron.

What happens to the heat stored in the metal when the metal is poured into the Styrofoam cup of water?

When the metal is poured into the Styrofoam cup of water, the heat stored in the metal is transferred to the water and the cup. This transfer of heat causes the temperature of the water and the cup to increase, as the metal cools down.


Which is the most heat resisting metal?

Tungsten has one of the highest melting points of any metal, making it extremely heat-resistant. It is often used in applications that require high-temperature resistance, such as filaments in light bulbs and aerospace components.


What is a good conductor of thermal energy?

Substances that allows the flow of heat energy through it are known as good conductors of heat energy. Most metals are good conductors of heat energy. Most nonmetals are not a good conductors of heat energy. Interestingly, the best metal at conducting heat is silver, which is slightly better than copper, but it is nowhere nearly as good as diamond, which can conduct heat as much as five times as well, and is not a metal. Go figure.


Would you want a plastic a metal or a metalloid handle for a metal pot?

I would want a plastic or rubber style handle because they don't conduct heat very well, therefore you have less of a chance of burns.


A material that is conducts heat well is most likely?

A metal such as copper or aluminum is likely to conduct heat well. Metals generally have high thermal conductivity due to the arrangement of their atoms allowing for efficient heat transfer.

What is a hypothesis for which metal absorbs heat the most?

A hypothesis is a guess based on what you know. Which metal do YOU think will absorb heat the most? Write it as a statement and that will be your hypothesis: "I think _____ will absorb heat the most." It doesn't matter if your hypothesis is right or wrong, just that you have a guess.Of course, then you need to test your hypothesis and actually find out which metal does!

Why metal cups keep hot water hot the longest?

Because metal absorbs and conducts more heat then most other substances so it keeps it hot. Just like when you cook, you use metal pans because they conduct the most heat.
