Question 396

In an experiment, an object is heated. The data from the experiment is shown:

  • The energy transferred to the object is 6.0 kJ.
  • The mass of the object is 4.0 kg.
  • The rise in temperature of the object is 12 ∘C12\text{ }^\circ\text{C}12 ∘C.
  • The specific heat capacity of the object is 125 J/(kg⋅∘C)125\text{ J}/(\text{kg}\cdot^\circ\text{C})125 J/(kg⋅∘C).

What is the thermal capacity of the object?
