Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

A block of aluminium has a specific heat capacity of $900\ \text{J (kg ^{\circ}C)}^{-1}$. Its internal energy rises by $13\,500\ \text{J}$ when the mass of the block is $2.0\ \text{kg}$. What is the increase in the block’s temperature?

  • A$0.067^{\circ}\text{C}$
  • B$0.13^{\circ}\text{C}$
  • C$7.5^{\circ}\text{C}$
  • D$15^{\circ}\text{C}$
