How does a substance with low specific heat cool down or heat up?

Answer 1

I think slowly because a substance that heats up quickly have a high specific heat capacity. i think slowly Specific heat is that amount of energy needed to raise a unit mass by a unit temperature. If something has a high specific heat, it means it needs a lot of energy to heat up, meaning slow.

Answer 2

A substance with low specific heat means that it takes less energy to raise the objects temperature compared to a substance of larger specific heat. In this case, if you were heating this object with low specific heat, it would sooner reach its heat capacity and begin to release heat, making the object feel hot. An item with a larger specific heat will do the same thing, but at a slower rate. This is why we do not use stove materials such as copper, because the specific heat is much lower and would burn almost anything we would try to cook on it. Stainless steel objects can absorb more heat and therefore give off less, which does not burn the food as quickly.

Answer 3

A substance has High Specific Heat if it heats up relatively quickly.
