A metal spoon with a plastic handle has been left in boiling water for a long time (the plastic handle does not melt). The spoon is now removed from the water.
1. What will be the temperature of the metal and the plastic the instant they are removed from the water ? Please explain why you have chosen these values.
5. What would happen to the above results if instead of one spoon, half plastic and half metal, you had two spoons, one completely plastic, the other completely metal?
