because it has a great heat capacity
yes
These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius. So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.
Yes. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g•oC, and the specific heat capacity of steam is 2.010 J/g•oC.
Starting from the same temperature and for the same amount of heat input, aluminum would wind up with a higher temperature than water because water has a higher heat capacity (it takes more energy to raise its temperature) than aluminum.
It is harder to raise the temperature of water than it is to raise the temperature of a rock. It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C, whereas it only takes 0.02 calorie to heat a gram of rock to that temperature.
It would depend on the temperature of the water, or average kinetic energy. (KE) However, what you may be looking for is how much heat is needed to raise the KE, or temperature, of water. 4.184 kilojoules per gram is the heat required to raise the temperature of water 1 degree Celsius.

The best way is to remove heat by cooling.

The amount of heat a substance can hold.
Water is an excellent material to use in a calorimeter because it has a very high specific heat, making it very hard for water to raise its temperature even by 1 degree celsius, but as hard as it was to raise the temperature of the water, it is equally as hard to lower the temperature of the water-making it able to effectively retain heat and allowing the other material inside of the calorimeter to absorb that heat.
Removing heat from the air will lower its temperature.
