Question:medium

A copper block of mass 2 kg is heated from 20°C to 100°C. If the specific heat capacity of copper is \( 400 \, \text{J/kg°C} \), how much heat energy is absorbed by the block? (Assume no phase change occurs.)

Show Hint

When calculating heat energy, ensure the specific heat capacity and temperature change are consistent. Use \( Q = m c \Delta T \) for temperature changes without phase transitions, and double-check units.

  • \( 6400 \, \text{J} \)
  • \( 16000 \, \text{J} \)
  • \( 32000 \, \text{J} \)
  • \( 64000 \, \text{J} \)
