Thermal physics
Use a simple thermal-energy model
Apply Q = mcΔT with supplied values and distinguish temperature change from total energy transfer.
AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS CHAPTER
Use Q = mcΔT. A 10 g sample with c = 2 J/(g·°C) warms by 3°C. What energy is transferred to it?
Show answer & explanation
60 J
10 × 2 × 3 = 60 J.
