Which factors affect heat transfer between a warm and a cool substance? a. the time it took to heat the substance, the area of contact, and the specific heats of the substances b. the amount of time of contact, the area of contact, and the specific heats of the substances c. the time it took to heat the substance, the area of the substances, and the specific heats of the substances d. the amount of time of contact, the area of the substances, and the specific heats of the substances

B. the amount of time of contact, the area of contact, and the specific heats of the substances

Explanation:

Heat travels from a hot to a cold body. The greater the time of contact between the hot and the cold the greater will be the greater will be the heat transfer. Also when the contact area increases there is greater conduction of heat from the hot to the cold body. Specific heat is also critical in the transfer of heat. The higher the specific heat on the hot body the faster it will transfer its heat to the cold body. A substance with a higher specific heat capacity will tend to cool down faster and vice versa.
