Question

- Rachel performed an investigation to study the thermal conductivity of four different materials. She started with four identically shaped rods—each made of a different material. Then, she placed one end of each rod into a pot of boiling water, which was at 100°C.
- After five minutes, Rachel measured the temperatures of the ends of the rods that were sticking up out of the pot to see whether they got hot. Her results are shown below.

Thermal Conductivity Investigation
Material Temperature of End of Rod After 5 Minutes
Material 1 41°C
Material 2 53°C
Material 3 98°C
Material 4 59°C

- Rachel knows that one of the materials is copper and that copper conducts thermal energy very well. Which of the materials is most likely copper?


A.
material 1
B.
material 3
C.
material 4
D.
material 2
