To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula
c = E / m△T
Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.
Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.
c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200
Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1
(50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)
= (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60) m³/sec
= 0.000631 m³/sec
Multiplied by; speed = distance x time
