Physics · May / June 2018 · Paper 12 · Question 20

Equal masses of copper and water are heated to the same temperature. As they cool down, the copper and the water lose thermal energy at the same rate. The temperature of the copper falls faster. Why is this?

1. ACopper has a larger specific heat capacity.
2. BCopper has a larger specific latent heat.
3. CCopper has a smaller specific heat capacity.
4. DCopper has a smaller specific latent heat.
