A fork is typically made of metal, such as stainless steel or silver, because metal is durable, easy to clean, and does not react with food. Metal forks are also versatile and can be used for a variety of foods without warping or breaking.

Yes, a fork is typically made of metal, which is a conductor of electricity. Therefore, it is not an insulator.
A fork is a conductor of heat, meaning it allows heat to pass through it easily. This is why a metal fork can become hot when used to stir hot food.
That really depends on the material. Many forks are made out of metal. When they are shiny, they are most likely out of metal. In that case, they are good conductors of both heat and electricity. If they are made out of plastic, they are not good conductors.
A standard metal fork typically weighs between 20-30 grams, depending on the brand and design.
A fork is considered an insulator because it does not readily conduct sound. Sound waves need a medium, such as air, to travel through, and metal objects like forks do not allow sound waves to easily pass through them.
