A $0.500-\mathrm{kg}$ slab of granite is heated so that its temperature increases by $7.40^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ The amount of heat supplied to the granite is $2.93 \mathrm{kJ} .$ Based on this information, what is the specific heat of granite?
How many joules of heat are lost by 3580 kg of granite as it cools from 41.2°C to -12.9°C? The specific heat of granite is 0.803 J/(g·°C).
When 1500 J of energy is lost from a 0.12-kilogram object, the temperature decreases from 45°C to 40°C. What is the specific heat of this object?
