Specific heat capacity

Physics · Secondary 4 · Medium · Specific heat capacity

A heater supplies 900 J of thermal energy to 0.50 kg of water, causing its temperature to rise by 0.45 °C. Assuming no heat loss, what is the specific heat capacity of water in this experiment?

$4.0 \times 10^3\,\text{J/(kg °C)}$
$2.0 \times 10^3\,\text{J/(kg °C)}$
$9.0 \times 10^2\,\text{J/(kg °C)}$
$1.8 \times 10^4\,\text{J/(kg °C)}$
