If 100j of heat a supplied to 3kg mass to change temp by 30 degree celsius. Find that supplied
Answer
The specific heat capacity of the substance is 910J/(kg∘C) or approximately 1.11J/(kg∘C).
Explanation
Solution
The heat supplied (Q) to a mass (m) to change its temperature by ΔT is given by Q=m×c×ΔT, where c is the specific heat capacity. Rearranging the formula to find c, we get c=Q/(m×ΔT). Substituting the given values Q=100J, m=3kg, and ΔT=30∘C, we calculate c=100/(3×30)=100/90=10/9J/(kg∘C).
