A composite solid consists of a metal block of mass and a metal block of mass joined in thermal contact. Block has a specific heat capacity of . When the composite solid absorbs of thermal energy, its overall temperature increases by . Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, what is the specific heat capacity of metal block ?
- Cevap
- B
- C
- D
Cevap
The total heat energy supplied () causes a temperature rise of , giving a total heat capacity for the composite solid. Subtracting block 's heat capacity () leaves a heat capacity of for block . Dividing block 's heat capacity by its mass () yields its specific heat capacity of .
