Answer 1

gtg pretty soon but try to think about the relationship betweeen specific heat capacity vs temperature change

as a hint, high specific heat means it takes more energy to produce the same temp change

Answer 2

The plastic

Answer 3

The plastic spoon will have a larger change in temperature because high specific heat means it takes more energy to produce the same temp change

Answer 4

oh wait sorry let me re-read the problem

Answer 5

Answer 9

The wooden spoon will have a larger change in temperature because high specific heat means it takes more energy to produce the same temp change

Answer 10
