(N/A) No, the specific heat capacities of water and ice are not the same.
The specific heat capacity of water is approximately $4.18 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $1 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).
The specific heat capacity of ice is approximately $2.09 \, J \, g^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ (or $0.5 \, cal \, g^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$).

On what does the value of heat capacity depend?

$50 \text{ g}$ of copper is heated to increase its temperature by $10^{\circ} \text{C}$. If the same quantity of heat is given to $10 \text{ g}$ of water,the rise in temperature is (specific heat of $\text{Cu} = 420 \text{ J kg}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$ and specific heat of water is $4200 \text{ J kg}^{-1} {}^{\circ} \text{C}^{-1}$) (in $^{\circ} \text{C}$)
