A student investigates the specific heat capacity of a copper block. The student measures the temperature of the copper block every minute while it is being heated with a constant power input.
Figure 1 shows a table of the results.
| Time (minutes) | Temperature (°C) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 22 |
| 1 | 27 |
| 2 | 32 |
| 3 | 37 |
| 4 | 42 |
| 5 | 47 |
Predict the temperature of the copper block if the heating is continued up to 10 minutes.
