Whether the hot metal or wood piece will melt more ice before cooling to
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Specific heat value tells about heat change when one gram of a substance undergoes change in temperature by 1°C.
The piece of wood has higher specific heat energy. So, it will release more heat on cooling. This will lead to melting of ice faster before cooling to
Conclusion:
The piece of wood melts more ice than metal before cooling to
