Answer 2

Answer:

The one tea kettle that has a wooden handle would be safer to touch to lift the tea kettle from the stove as because wood is the poor conductor of heat energy whereas the copper is a good conductor of heat energy.

The one tea kettle that has a copper handle could not be safe as if we heat one end of a piece of copper, the other end will quickly reach the same temperature.
