When 400 J of heat are added to a 0.1 kg sample of metal, its temperature increase by `20(@)`C. What isthe specific heat of the metal?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the specific heat of the metal, we can use the formula for heat transfer: \[ Q = mc\Delta T \] Where: - \( Q \) is the heat added (in joules), - \( m \) is the mass of the substance (in kg), - \( c \) is the specific heat capacity (in J/kg°C), ...
