Question

click the formula sheet to access resources for your test. question 9 (1 point) listen which of the following materials would heat up the fastest if the same amount of energy is added? steam (variable specific heat) ice (medium specific heat) copper (low specific heat) water (high specific heat)

Explanation:

The specific - heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius. A substance with a low specific - heat capacity will heat up faster when the same amount of energy is added. Among the given options, copper has a low specific heat, so it will heat up the fastest.

Answer:

Copper (low specific heat)
