The pot shown in the picture is made of two different materials. Why is the handle made of a different material than the rest of the pot? A. The metal that the pot is made out of has a higher specific heat capacity, therefore, a wood handle is needed because it has a
lower specific heat capacity. This means they both can hold the same amount of heat, which is needed for the person cooking
because the handle is a conductor
B. The handle can absorb more energy without changing temperature as easily as the metal in the pot because it has a higher specific
heat capacity. It serves as an insulator, so that it will not burn a person's hand when the pot is hot.
C. The metal that the pot is made out of has a lower specific heat capacity, therefore, a wood handle is needed because it has a lower
specific heat capacity as well. This means they both can hold the same amount of heat, which is needed for the person cooking,
D. It would have been too expensive to make the handle out of the same metal
