Question 21
H65%

A student determines the specific heat capacity of a metal block. The thermometer used has a resolution of 1 ∘C1\ ^\circ\text{C}1 ∘C and the temperature rise measured is 4 ∘C4\ ^\circ\text{C}4 ∘C. Which conclusion about the student's result is correct?

[1]
A

the result is precise, because the resolution of the thermometer is small

B

the result is accurate, because the temperature rise recorded is small

C

the temperature rise should be larger, so the resolution is a smaller part of it

D

the temperature rise should be smaller, so less energy reaches the surroundings
