That depends on the surrounding temperatures. Objects tend to acquire the temperature of the surroundings.

Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
Would two different liquids stored in the fridge for the same period of time be equally cold?
No. They would lose (or absorb) the same amount of heat, but their temperatures would be different.Every liquid has a unique specific heat capacity.The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to heat unit mass (1 kg) of that substance through 1°Celsius.So, liquids with different specific heats would show different change in temperature after losing the same amount of heat.For example, a liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would require lesser heat to change it's temperature while one with a higher specific heat capacity would require more heat.Hence, since the heat lost would be the same, the liquid with a lower specific heat capacity would cool more and have a lower temperature.
Does a substance that cools up quickly have high or low specific heat capacity?
It would have a LOW specific heat capacity because -- the subst heats up quickly which means you would use less heat capacity.
Would it be better to have pots and pans made from material with a high specific heat capacity or low specific heat capacity?
Higher Heat
What is a penny's specific heat capacity?
Specific heat capacity is heat capacity per unit mass. So it depends on the exact alloy composity of your penny, and not on its size.In a typical US post-1962 penny, the specific heat capacity is about .39 kJ/kgKIn a US penny from 1864-1962, the specific heat capacity would be a little less than this. The same was true from 1837-1857.From 1793-1837, the specific heat capacity was about .39 kJ/kgK.
Why the experimental value of specific heat capacity is higher than the standars value?
Experimental errors would cause the experimental value of specific heat capacity to be higher than the standard value.
What is the specific heat capacity of fish source?
To work out the specific heat capacity of fish source sauce you would need to first find out the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of the substance by 1oC
What is the specific heat capacity of steel?
420 JKg-1C-1
What is tap water specific heat capacity?
Looking for the same thing i can only hazard a guess that it will be close to that of pure water and it would vary from region to region. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(g x °C).
If the specific heat capacity of water were lower than it is ponds in the cold of winter would be what?
more likely to freeze.
How cold does it have to be for something to freeze instantly?
Different substances freeze at different temperatures. However all substances would freeze (except helium) at Absolute Zero. The time it takes for the substance to freeze would also depend on the mass and heat content of that substance.
Which term can be used to explain why a gold plate would heat up faster than a glass plate?
Specific heat capacity
