What if your spoon is hot after leaving it in the pot that was on the stove is that conduction?

Yes, if your spoon becomes hot after being left in a pot on the stove, that is an example of conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. In this case, the heat from the hot pot is transferred to the spoon, causing it to become warm as the metal conducts the heat efficiently.


How does water in apot on a stove get hot all over?

It starts by conductions. The heater below the pot makes the molecules/atoms in the pot vibrate more. Hence hotter. This vibration in turn makes the water molecules in the pot vibrate more. when thing vibrate more , they like more space, so the vibrating water molecules rise up the pot, to be replaced by cooler molcules, which in turn vibrate more and rise up the pot. This is called Convection./.


Which cools faster a black pot of hot tea or a silver pot of hot tea?

It would depend what the black pot was made of. Assuming ceramic and both pots have the same surface area, then the silver pot would cool quicker; silver is a better heat conductor than most ceramics.


Why are nonmetals used for making handles of pots?

so that they dont get too hot just by conduction from the metal pot


Why is your spoon hot after leaving it on the pot that was on the stove?

Heat is transferred into the metal spoon from the hot liquid, and it will soon be at the same temperature as the liquid because the spoon's heat capacity is quite small compared to the water surrounding it.
