The amusement park will be located in a hot climate. The engineers want to select a material for the giant slide that will prevent the surface from getting too hot. Based on the specific heat values, what material would be the best choice? A.Plastic, because it takes more energy to raise its temperature B.Iron, because it takes more energy to raise its temperature C.Plastic, because it takes less energy to raise its temperature D.Iron, because it less energy to raise its temperature

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The correct answer would be plastic because it takes more energy to raise its temperature.

The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance by one degree. The more the specific heat capacity of a substance, the more the heat required to raise its temperature.

The specific heat capacity of plastics is generally more than that of metals. Hence, metals will get heated faster than plastics under the same condition. More energy would be needed to raise the temperature of plastics when compared to metals.

the correct option is A.
