Question 111

A block of metal absorbs 4500 J of thermal energy.

The temperature of the block rises from 15∘C15^\circ\text{C}15∘C to 30∘C30^\circ\text{C}30∘C.

The mass of the block is 1.5 kg.

What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

A

100 J/(kg ∘C)100\text{ J}/(\text{kg }^\circ\text{C})100 J/(kg ∘C)

B

150 J/(kg ∘C)150\text{ J}/(\text{kg }^\circ\text{C})150 J/(kg ∘C)

C

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

D

300 J/(kg ∘C)300\text{ J}/(\text{kg }^\circ\text{C})300 J/(kg ∘C)
