..................................................................................................................................... [1]

(ii)

the basic principle by which temperature is measured.

...........................................................................................................................................

..................................................................................................................................... [1]

(c) A block of aluminium of mass 670 g is heated at a constant rate of 95 W for 6.0 minutes.

The specific heat capacity of aluminium is 910 J kg?1 K?1.

The initial temperature of the block is 24 ¡ãC.

(i)

Assuming that no thermal energy is lost to the surroundings, show that the final

temperature of the block is 80 ¡ãC.
