Question 19

A copper block of mass 0.36 kg is heated from 22 ∘C22\ ^\circ\text{C}22 ∘C to 62 ∘C62\ ^\circ\text{C}62 ∘C. The specific heat capacity of copper is 385 J/kg ∘C385\ \text{J/kg}\, ^\circ\text{C}385 J/kg∘C. Use the equation ΔQ=m×c×Δθ\Delta Q=m\times c\times\Delta\thetaΔQ=m×c×Δθ.

Calculate the energy transferred to the block.
