Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

During an experiment, an object is heated. The energy transferred to the object is $3.0\,\text{kJ}$. Its mass is $2.0\,\text{kg}$. The temperature increase of the object is $10\,^\circ\text{C}$. The specific heat capacity of the object is $150\,\text{J (kg }^\circ\text{C})^{-1}$. What is the thermal capacity of the object?

  • A$30\,\text{J }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
  • B$300\,\text{J }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
  • C$3000\,\text{J }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
  • D$9000\,\text{J }^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
