Question

what role dose specific heat play in keeping a watermelon cool for a long time after removing it from a fridge on a hot day​

Answer 1

Answer:

Higher the specific heat capacity of a body,the more heat is required to raise the temperature of a body. So accordingly, Water has a very high specific heat capacity. Water melon has a lot of water in it. Due to the presence of water in a water melon, it has high specific heat capacity and therefore thus does not heat up easily. It stays cool.
