The question is "A 21 kg aluminum block absorbs 1.5 x 10^5 J of energy. Calculate the change in temperature."

Homework Statement

m = 21 kg

Homework Equations

Q=m x c x T ?

The Attempt at a Solution

You use the formula you listed under "Relevant equations"

It is often listed as Q=m x c x ΔT to emphasise the change in temperature. You will also need to look up the specific heat capacity of Aluminium [the c].

NOTE: metal names end in "ium" Calcium, Sodium, Ferrium [Iron] etc. That is why it is actually Aluminium
