Homework Statement



Thermal energy is transferred to a solid. Three properties of the solid are:
1. volume
2. mass
3. specific heat capacitiy

Which of the above properties determine the rise in temperature of the solid?
A) 1 and 2
B) 2 and 3
C) 2 only
D) 3 only

Homework Equations



c = Q/mΔT

The Attempt at a Solution



so using the equation for specific heat capacity, thermal energy Q = (mΔT) (c)

c = specific heat capacity
m = mass
volume is not there

So, my answer is B. Mass and specific heat capacity only. is this correct?
