Question text
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? A Copper has a larger specific heat capacity. B Copper has a larger specific latent heat. C Copper has a smaller specific heat capacity. D Copper has a smaller specific latent heat.
