On a cold winter day, a steel metal fence post feels colder than a wooden fence post of identical size because: a. The specific heat capacity of steel is higher than the specific heat capacity of wood. b. The specific heat capacity of steel is lower than the specific heat capacity of wood. c. Steel has the ability to resist a temperature change better than wood. d. The mass of steel is less than wood so it loses heat faster. Selected:e. Two of the above statements are true.

Imagine you are standing in the antarctic during the southern hemisphere summer. the sky is clear and blue. there are no clouds in the sky. your shadow is cast on the icy ground. what is the color of the shadow?
