Question 82

Two blocks of different metals, Block X and Block Y, of equal mass are initially at the same temperature. Block X is heated for 180 s and Block Y is heated for 60 s using identical heaters of the same power. The temperature of both blocks increases by the same amount.

Which statement is correct?

A

Both blocks receive the same amount of energy.

B

Block Y receives more energy than Block X.

C

The thermal capacity of Block X is three times the thermal capacity of Block Y.

D

The thermal capacity of Block Y is three times the thermal capacity of Block X.
