When an object gets heated by a temperature ΔT energy needed, E = mcΔT
Here mass of glass = 55 g = [tex]55*10^{-3}kg[/tex]
Change in temperature ΔT = 16^0C[/tex] = 16 K
Specific heat of glass = 0.84 J/gK = 840 J/kgK
Substituting we will get
E = [tex]55*10^{-3}[/tex]*840*16 = 739.2 J
So a heat of 739.2 J is required to raise the temperature of a 55 g glass ball by 16°C
