Temperature change from energy input

In a second version of the same investigation, Water in a school calorimetry trial receives \(2160\,\text{J}\) of energy. Its mass is \(0.55\,\text{kg}\) and \(c=4200\,\text{J kg}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\). Calculate the temperature rise. Use the diagram first, then calculate the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the physical meaning.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
