Two identical objects of the same mass and at the same initial temperature cool off. If object A cools off faster than object B, what can you say about the specific heats of the two objects?

A has a lower specific heat (heat capacity)
Q = m C (T2-T1)
for the same Q, lower C means bigger temp change
Q = m C (T2-T1)
for the same Q, lower C means bigger temp change
