Two blocks of equal mass are each given the same amount of energy. Block P is made of copper and block Q is made of aluminium. Aluminium has the higher specific heat capacity. Which row gives the block with the larger temperature rise, and the correct reason?
block P, because block P has the larger mass of the two
block P, because copper has the lower specific heat capacity
block Q, because block Q has the larger mass of the two
block Q, because aluminium has the lower specific heat capacity
