Question 27

A block of metal absorbs 3000 J of thermal energy.

The temperature of the block rises from 20∘C20^\circ\text{C}20∘C to 25∘C25^\circ\text{C}25∘C.

The mass of the block is 1.5 kg.

What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

A

80 J/(kg ∘C)80\text{ J/(kg }^\circ\text{C)}80 J/(kg ∘C)

B

200 J/(kg ∘C)200\text{ J/(kg }^\circ\text{C)}200 J/(kg ∘C)

C

400 J/(kg ∘C)400\text{ J/(kg }^\circ\text{C)}400 J/(kg ∘C)

D

2000 J/(kg ∘C)2000\text{ J/(kg }^\circ\text{C)}2000 J/(kg ∘C)
