Will butter melt faster on metal rubber or wood?

Butter will melt faster on metal than on rubber or wood. Metal conducts heat more efficiently, allowing the heat from the surface to transfer to the butter quickly, resulting in faster melting. Rubber and wood are poorer conductors of heat, so they will retain heat and transfer it to the butter at a slower rate.


Can the planet venus. burn wood?

No, Venus cannot burn wood because fire requires oxygen, and Venus has a very thick atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide, which would not support combustion. Additionally, Venus is extremely hot on its surface, with temperatures high enough to melt lead, which would make it impossible for wood to burn.


Why wood does not melt?

Actually there is wood that burns, like firewood. In campfires, or outdoor cooking, wood in the form of dead twigs are also used to sustain the fire. Anyway, for wood that does not burn, it is because of the water in the wood. Wood is hydrated, since trees and plants take water up through their roots and through the stem/trunk/branches to the leaves, which require water for photosynthesis. This hydration prevents wood from burning due to the heat capacity of water and the latent heat of evaporation of water. The heat energy relased by a flame used to try to ignite the wood would therefore first need to remove the water from the wood before it will combust.


Will pykrete or ice melt faster?

On an episode of the UK-broadcast "Brainiac: History Abuse" TV series, it was proved that a block of ice is melted by a flame-thrower within two minutes. The pykrete on the other hand, was left virtually uncharred after several minutes of torture from the flame-thrower.


What type of wood burns the longest?

Pine burns pretty good. Just use dry wood. Also it is better to have more smaller peices of wood rather than large logs as smaller peices have greater surface are to volume ratio so they burn faster and therefore hotter. However the fire will not last as long.

What will burn first wood or plastic?

Under normal circumstances, wood will burn first because it has a lower temperature of combustion than metal. That means a stick will catch fire and burn faster than a piece of steel pipe the same size. In fact, under those normal circumstances mentioned, the stick will burn and be reduced to ash while the steel pipe will not be affected. Many times structures will burn and the steel water pipes will be left only blackened after all the wood has been consumed by the blaze.
