Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Materials that absorb large amounts of energy in the form of vibrations and rotations are typically called "heat sink" materials, and they have high specific heat capacities. This is because they require a lot of energy to reach a certain temperature, due to the absorbed energy being distributed throughout the material's molecules.
