Question 35 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Which is most likely to get hot fastest when touching a warm surface?

Answer
A
foam cup
B
wooden spoon
C
copper wire
D
plastic button

Explanation

Copper is a good conductor of heat, so it transfers heat from the warm surface much faster than foam, wood, or plastic. Foam, wood, and plastic are insulators that slow heat transfer. Therefore, the copper wire is most likely to get hot fastest.
