Answer:
a) 
b) This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c) The material is peat, possibly.
d) The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of aluminium,

- mass of water,

- initial temperature of the system,

- mass of copper block,

- temperature of copper block,

- mass of the other block,

- temperature of the other block,

- final equilibrium temperature,

We have,
specific heat of aluminium, 
specific heat of copper, 
specific heat of water, 
Using the heat energy conservation equation.
The heat absorbed by the system of the calorie-meter to reach the final temperature.



The heat released by the blocks when dipped into water:

where
specific heat of the unknown material
For the conservation of energy : 
so,


b)
This value of specific heat is close to the specific heat of ice at -40° C and the specific heat of peat (a variety of coal).
c)
The material is peat, possibly.
d)
The material cannot be ice because ice doesn't exists at a temperature of 100°C.
2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce
.
<u>Explanation</u>:
when ball is the height of 1.37 m from the ground it has some gravitational potential energy with respect to hits the ground
Formula for gravitational potential energy given by
Potential Energy = mgh
Where
,
m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height
Potential energy when ball hits the ground
m= 0.375 kg
h = 1.37 m
g = 9.8 m/s²

Potential Energy = 5.03 joule
Potential energy when ball bounces up again
h= 0.67 m

Potential Energy = 2.46 joule
Energy loss = 5.03 - 2.46 = 2.57 joule
2.57 joule energy lose in the bounce

An electron has a negative charge. Hope this helps.
Temperature is the measurement system we use to measure the heat
