The following table lists the speed of sound in various materials. use this table to answer the question. substance speed (m/s) glass 5,200 aluminum 5,100 iron 4,500 copper 3,500 salt water 1,530 fresh water 1,500 mercury 1,400 hydrogen at 0°c 1,284 ethyl alcohol 1,125 helium at 0°c 965 air at 100°c 387 air at 0°c 331 oxygen at 0°c 316 how long would it take for a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 25 kilometers long? 0.0049 sec 0.071 sec 4.9 sec 0.14

Time taken by a sound impulse to travel through an aluminum rod 25 kilometers long is 4.9 seconds.

Solution:

Length of aluminium rod = 25 km = 25000 m (1 km=1000 m)

Time taken by sound to travel through aluminium = 5100 m/s (from the table given)

time taken =

Hence, the correct option is 4.9 seconds.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

it’s previous models   because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
