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 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.


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.


Why would water in a metal mug cool down so quickly?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so when a metal mug with warm water is exposed to a cooler environment, the metal quickly transfers heat away from the water. This rapid heat transfer causes the water to cool down quickly.


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.


What method of heat transfer does a metal rod heated on up in a fire?

The metal rod is heated primarily through conduction, as the heat from the fire transfers directly to the metal through physical contact. There may also be some heat transfer through convection, as the hot air surrounding the metal helps to heat it further.

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.
