Answer: Water has a relatively high specific heat capacity, which means it takes a relatively high amount of energy to change its temperature. Metals have a low specific heat capacity, which means it takes a relatively low amount of energy to change its temperature.
Explanation: The specific heat capacity of an object is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the object( usually in kg) by a unit rise in temperature.
Water is not a very good heat conductor compared to metals.
As such heat is relatively transferred easily to metals as compared to water.
Please note; Good conductors of heat (most likely metals) have low specific heat capacity and vice versa.
PS; The specific heat capacity of water is 4182J/kg°C or 1calorie/g°C.
The specific heat capacity of copper is 385j/kg°C.
Therefore, Water has a relatively high specific heat capacity, which means it takes a relatively high amount of energy to change its temperature. Metals have a low specific heat capacity, which means it takes a relatively low amount of energy to change its temperature.
