Neco 2019 Physics Question 18
Practice objective / multiple choice question 18 from the 2019 Neco Physics examination.
A \(0.50\ \text{kg}\) metal block is heated to \(150^{\circ}\text{C}\) and then placed into a calorimeter containing \(200\ \text{g}\) of water at \(25^{\circ}\text{C}\). After thermal equilibrium the water temperature rises to \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\) and the metal block temperature falls to \(28^{\circ}\text{C}\). Assuming the calorimeter has negligible heat capacity and the specific heat capacity of water is \(4186\ \text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\), calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal (in \(\text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\)).
