Solution

To calculate the energy needed to increase the temperature, we can use the formula:

Q = mcΔT

where: Q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Given: m = 0.4 kg, c = 130 J/kg°C, and ΔT = 30 °C,

we can substitute these values into the formula:

Q = (0.4 kg) * (130 J/kg°C) * (30 °C) = 1560 J

So, the energy needed to increase the temperature by 30 °C for 0.4 kg of gold is 1560 Joules.
