Material a has a specific heat of 100 j/kg-k and material b has a specific heat of 200 j/kg-k. if the two materials start at the same temperature and have heat energy added at the same constant rate, which would you expect to reach a higher temperature first? material a
material b
both the same
cannot determine from the information given none of the above

material A

Explanation:

Specific heat of material A = 100 J/kg - K

Specific heat of material B = 200 J/kg - K

The specific heat of a material is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of substance of mass 1 kg by 1 °C.

So, material A requires 100 J of heat to raise the temperature of mass 1 kg by 1°C.

So, material B requires 200 J of heat to raise the temperature of mass 1 kg by 1°C.

So, the temperature of material A is higher is more than the material B when same amount of heat is added.
