You hold a 50 g sphere of copper in one hand and a 25 g sphere of aluminum in the other hand. If both absorb energy at the same rate, which will come to your body temperature first and why? The specific heat capacities are 0.4 J/(g .
) for copper and 0.9 J/(g .
) for aluminum.
A) copper, because the specific heat is smaller
B) aluminum, because the specific heat is larger
C) aluminum, because the mass is smaller
D) copper, because the heat capacity is smaller
E) Both reach body temperature at the same time because they absorb energy at the same rate.
