The temperature of a 5.0 kg block increases by 3 degrees C when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of the block?

133.33J/kg°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

    Mass = 5kg

    Temperature change  = 3°C

    Thermal energy  = 2000J

Unknown:

Specific heat of the block = ?

Solution:

To find the specific heat capacity, use the formula below;

          H  = mCФ

where H is amount of heat

           m is the mass

           C is the specific heat capacity

           Ф is the temperature change

Input the parameters and solve;

    2000 = 5 x C x 3

        C  =

         C = 133.33J/kg°C

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
