Jaxson Yoder · Answer 1

The resulting temperature change for a certain amount of heat provided is dependant on a substances specific heat capacity, since copper has the lowest specific heat capacity it will heat up the fastest.

Clara Bates · Answer 2

When the same masses are heated by the same amount copper will heat up the fastest. Copper is a good conductor of heat that is why it easily heats up. Gold is not a good conductor of heat because of its stable properties.
