Question

Different materials will change temperature at different rates when exposed to the same amount of heat. This is because the different materials absorb heat at different rates.

Answer 1

The metal heats faster than the water because it requires less energy to heat it up (it has a lower heat capacity). 4. Why do you think different substances heat up and cool down at different rates? ... Water has a very high potential energy due the intermolecular forces between the polar water molecules.
