Suppose you have equal masses of four different materials. These materials also have equal specific heat capacities. Suppose material A conducts heat better than material B which in turn conducts heat better than material C which in turn conducts heat better than material D. If on a hot day these materials are all at the same temperature and you touch each one, which one will feel hottest (hint: your skin is not a good guide to what temperature objects happen to be but is a good guide to whether or not your body is losing heat to an object you are touching (the object feels cool or cold) or gaining heat from an object you are touching (the object feels warm or hot)?
