Answer:
C. At a particular instant
Explanation:
Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:
where d is the distance and t the time.
However, there are two possible measurements of speed:
- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is
- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by 
is given by
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and is the increase of temperature.
If we re-arrange the formula, we get
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and
If we re-arrange the formula, we get
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
