Answer: I'm pretty sure it's If copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots.

Nigel Friedman · Answer 2

The right hypothesis to use for the investigation is "If copper heats up faster than iron, it is better for making pots".

Explanation:

For making of pots the main thing required is the conduction capacity so that it can heat up fast. As copper has very high value of conduction it can heat up the pot much faster than iron. Numerically copper heats up 5 times faster than iron, so using copper the heat is saved from wasting.
