Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall heat - conduction and insulation concepts

Good conductors transfer heat quickly and good insulators slow down heat transfer.

Step2: Answer part A

Copper is a well - known good conductor of heat among common materials.

Step3: Answer part B

Styrofoam is a common insulating material due to its low thermal conductivity.

Step4: Answer part C

Metals like aluminum are good heat conductors. They allow heat to transfer more quickly than plastics. So a metal - made bag would lose heat faster.

Step5: For question 6A

Without the actual minimum temperature data filled in the table, we assume the material with the lowest recorded minimum temperature gives the coldest pack.

Step6: For question 6B

The material with the slowest rate of heat gain (highest thermal resistance) would produce the longest - lasting cold pack. But without specific data on heat - transfer rates of these materials, we can't determine it precisely.

Step7: For question 7A

Without the temperature graphs, we can't determine if the material that got the hottest also got the coldest.

Answer:

A. Copper B. Styrofoam C. It would lose its heat faster, metals are good conductors of heat and allow heat to transfer more quickly than plastic. 6A. (To be filled with the material having the lowest minimum - temp value from the table) 6B. (Can't be determined precisely without heat - transfer rate data) 7A. (Can't be determined without the temperature graphs)
