Box A and Box B are both set in the sun at the same time and both have an initial temperature of 30 oC. After 30 minutes the final temperature for Box A was 32 oC and the final temperature for Box B was 42 oC. Which box was made of made of a material with a lower specific heat capacity?

Your answer:
Box A since its temperature increases slower
Box B since its temperature increases faster
Both had a the same specific heat
Specific heat has nothing to do with how fast or slow materials heat and cool
