Answer:

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of material be s

heat lost by material = m₁ s (T 1 - T ) ,  (T 1 - T ) is fall in temp , m₁ is mass of material

= .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

= 26.82 s

Heat gained by water

= m₂ cw (T2 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 )

heat lost = heat gained

m₂ cw (T2 - T ) = m₁ s (T 1 - T )

1.3 x 4186 x ( 31.4 - 23 ) =  .45 x s x (91 - 31.4 )

45711.12 = 26.82 s

s = 1704.36

sergeinik [125]
We know, Speed = Wavelength * Frequency 
Speed = 32.4 * 3 
Speed = 97.2 m/s

So, option D is your correct answer.

Hope it helped.
