Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree celsius. Therefore the answer will be:
1760 * 2000 * 40 = 140,800,000

What happens to temperature when energy is added as heat?
Either the temperature will increase, or it will remain the same. In the latter case, there is a phase change, as when ice melts.
What happens to molecules as energy is added and the temperature increases?
what happens to molecules as energy is added the temperature increses
Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
How much energy must be added to a 2-kg piece of wood with a specific heat of 1760 JkgoC to increase its temperature from 10oC to 50oC?
140,800 j
When thermal energy is added to solid ice its temperature does what?
chic
Can thermal energy be added without an increase in temperature?
No, thermal energy is entirely energy added for heat.
Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?
To increase.
What happened to the kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of gas as the temperature of the sample increase?
The average Kinetic energy of the atoms in the sample will increase as the sample is heated.

As heat energy is added to a liquid do the particles increase or decrease in movement?
As heat energy is supplied to a liquid, its temperature rises. The rise of temperature causes a rise in the kinetic energy of the particles; which happens when the speed of the particles increases.
How the temperature of water changes when sugar is added to it.?
The temperature increase a bit.
Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
What happens to the water temperature when calcium chloride is added?
Temperature would increase
When a liquid is heated does the energy of it increase?
When you add energy to a substance it's temperature will remain constant if there is a change of state from solid to liquid or liquid to gas. The energy added is absorbed in changing state; known as latent heat of fusion (melting), or latent heat of vaporization. For some substances a similar effect can occur if there is a chemical change. There are also situation where an influx of energy will cause a decrease in temperature. One such is drinking water stored in a canvas container. Sunlight causing the wet canvas to evaporate some of its water will effect a decrease in the temperature of the stored water.
What happens if you put heaps of energy (heat) into a liquid?
The liquid's temperature will increase. If enough heat is added, it will eventually evaporate.
