The specific heat of water is high. An example of an object with low specific heat would be a metal pan. Since specific heat is the energy needed to raise 1g of something 1 degree Celsius, water would have a high specific heat.

Which metal has the highest specific heat capacity?
No. Metals have a relatively low specific heat.
Does water have a relatively low specifc heat?
No, water's specific heat capacity is quite high actually, compared to metals which are very low. Water's specific heat is 4.18 Jewels Per Grams X Degrees Celsius where a metal such as Iron is only 0.45. Water is used in many different applications to store heat because of this
What has higher specific heat water or lead?
Water has much higher specific heat than lead. All metals have fairly low specific heat values.
The ocean has a high specific heat what would happen if the ocean had a low specific heat?
If the ocean had a low specific heat it wouldn't be able to support life. This is because the water would be too cold.
Does a high or low specific heat mean the substance heats up so fast?
low specific heat is like sand and high specific heat is like water at the beach it may be hot outside the water is still cold but the sand is hot as ever.
Does mercury has low specific heat?
yes, it has low specific heat capacity
Water makes a good coolant because it has a . a. high specific heat c. low specific heat b. high boiling point d. low freezing point?
D. low freezing point
Does sand have a high or low specific heat capacity?
sand have low specific heat capacity.
Why water is used as a cooling agent?
It is cheap, has a high specific heat, and low viscosity.
Which is true about water and specific heat It makes water a good solvent. The specific heat is unusually high. it is unusually low. It causes water to heat up easily?
The answer is that the specific heat is unusually high. This means that you have to supply more heat than for most substances in order to raise the temperature by each degree C.
Does water heat up just as quickly as land heats up?
it heats up much faster, the specific heat value of water is very low, and the specific heat value of land is almost always higher than that of water.
How is specific heat related to thermal heat?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
