Answer:
603000 J
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Energy required (Q) =...?
Mass (M) = 10000 g
Specific heat capacity (C) = 2.01 J/g°C
Overheating temperature (T2) = 121°C
Working temperature (T1) = 91°C
Change in temperature (ΔT) =.?
Change in temperature (ΔT) =T2 – T1
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 121 – 91
Change in temperature (ΔT) = 30°C
Finally, we shall determine the energe required to overheat the car as follow:
Q = MCΔT
Q = 10000 × 2.01 × 30
Q = 603000 J
Therefore, 603000 J of energy is required to overheat the car.
