In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.
You would want it to be greater than D. friction force
It needs be greater than the friction applied to it.
-- It takes 100 calories of heat to make 10 grams of the stuff 20° warmer.
How much of the heat warms each gram ?
-- It takes 10 calories of heat to make each gram of the stuff 20° warmer.
How much of the heat warms that gram each degree ?
-- It takes 1/2 calorie of heat to make each gram of the stuff 1° warmer.
The specific heat of that stuff is
(1/2 calorie) per gram per °C.
That's choice-3 .
