Silver and wooden sticks of the same mass were dipped into a vessel with hot water. Which stick heats up faster?

Silver and wooden sticks of the same mass were dipped into a vessel with hot water. Which stick heats up faster? How will the internal energy of the water change? chopsticks? how is heat exchange between water and sticks carried out?

The silver one will heat up faster. it has a higher thermal conductivity than wood, because it’s metal. Accordingly, per unit of time, a silver stick will have time to take more heat from water than a wooden one.

The internal energy of water will decrease by the amount of heat that will be transferred through thermal conduction to the silver and wooden sticks, and the internal energy of the sticks will increase.

Heat transfer is carried out through the mechanism of heat conduction, when heat is transferred to areas of the body with a lower temperature from areas with a lower temperature.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
