Here are some examples of substances with low specific heat:
* Metals: Iron, copper, aluminum, gold, etc. This is why metals are used for cooking pots and pans, as they heat up quickly and transfer heat efficiently.
* Sand: This is why beaches get hot quickly during the day and cool down quickly at night.
* Mercury: This is why mercury is used in thermometers, as its temperature changes quickly and accurately reflects the temperature of its surroundings.
In contrast, substances with high specific heat require a large amount of energy to change their temperature. Water is a good example of this. It takes a lot of energy to heat up water, which is why it's used as a coolant in many applications.
