I was looking for the answer of same question but I didn’t
find it from any source so I went for online help and got the detailed answer

The specific heat capacities of different metals determine the amount of heat required to raise their temperature by 1K. The metals provided have the following heat capacities.
Aluminium-921
Brass-401
copper-376
Platinum-125
The higher the heat capacity, the more the energy required to raise the temperature. Therefore, aluminium has the least temperature increase.
Explanation:
<em>For</em><em>ce</em><em> </em><em>per</em><em> </em><em>uni</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>area</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>call</em><em>ed</em><em> </em><em>Pres</em><em>sure</em><em>.</em>
Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is
A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>
and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of
B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
<em />
They meet when their positions are equal:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m
<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s
so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.
They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m
(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m
<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s
so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
