When you get into a parked car in the summer time, the metal clip is hot and the seat belt fabric is not. What has a higher specific heat, the metal clip or the seat belt fabric? Think about the definition of specific heat.

The fabric is not a conductor, so it cant store heat, the metal clip is a conductor, so it stores the heat from the sun and when you touch it, it transfers to you. Have a nice day!
