Answer:
Since water has a higher specific heat than copper.
Explanation:
Dimensionally speaking, the specific heat of a material ([tex]c[/tex]) is represented by:
[tex][c] = \frac{[Energy]}{[Mass]\cdot [Temperature]}[/tex]
The specific heats of water and copper are [tex]4186\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex] and [tex]390\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex], respectively. Let suppose that temperature change and masses of water and copper are the same. Then, a kilogram of water takes a longer time than a kilogram of copper since the first has a higher specific heat.
