Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

A block of metal takes in $2000\,\text{J}$ of thermal energy. Its temperature increases from $10^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $20^{\circ}\text{C}$. The block has a mass of $2.0\,\text{kg}$. Calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.

  • A$50\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$
  • B$100\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$
  • C$200\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$
  • D$400\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$
