How does measuring the temperature of water tell how much energy was captured?

Question

I'm currently working on three projects for Science that I missed earlier in the trimester so in order to pass the class, I have to make up these three projects unfortunately I'm stuck on one of these questions and I need to hand these in very, very soon. The question is: How does measuring water temperature tell us how much energy was captured? And I'm supposed to use ‘heat capacity’ in the answer. Could someone please help me out with this? Thank you.

Answer 1

Rise in temperature multiplied by its specific heat will give you the energy obsorbed. T2- T1 X Sh is the formula.
