The heat capacity of Object 1 is 3 times that of Object 2, and its mass is 4 times greater. Therefore, the total heat capacity of Object 1 is 12 times that of Object 2. Given the same amount of heat, the temperature change of Object 2 will be 12 times that of Object 1.

Object 1 Has Three Times the Specific Heat Capacity and Four
