(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Sciences

On a cold winter day, João used a metal spoon to stir his hot soup and noticed that the handle of the spoon heated up quickly. Later, he decided to switch the metal spoon for a plastic one and realized that the handle of this spoon did not heat up as fast as the other. Based on his observations and the ways heat propagates, what is the reason for the difference in heat propagation in the handles of the metal and plastic spoons?
a.
Metal is a good thermal conductor, while plastic is a thermal insulator.
b.
The metal spoon has a higher thermal capacity than the plastic one.
c.
The plastic is a good thermal conductor, while the metal is a thermal insulator.
d.
The plastic spoon has a higher thermal capacity than the metal one.
e.
Both materials are good thermal conductors, but metal conducts more slowly.
