Length of the copper rod = 2.5 meters
Speed at which sound travels through copper = 3560 meter per second
Let us assume the time taken
by sound to cover the given distance = x seconds
We already know that 
Speed = Distance/ Time
Then
Time = Distance/ Speed
x = 2.5/3560 seconds
   = 0.0007 seconds.
This can ve done by hitting one end of the rod and then receiving the sound at the other end and using the stop clock to measure the time taken.

Answer;The time taken by they sound to move from one end of the rod to another end is 0.00054 seconds.

Explanation;

Speed of sound in the copper = 4600 m/s

Length of the copper  rod = 2.5 m

Speed=\frac{Distance}{\text{Time taken}}

Distance covered by the sound = length of the copper

4600 m/s=\frac{2.5 m}{T}

T=\frac{2.5 m}{4600 m/s}=0.00054 s

The time taken by they sound to move from one end of the rod to another end is 0.00054 seconds.

According to Charles's law, for a fixed quantity of gas at constant pressure, which of the given quantities is constant? Accordi
Naddik [55]
Charles's <span>law is also known as the law of volumes explained the relation between the volume of gas and its temperature.

Charles's law states that: " At constant pressure, the volume of a certain mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvin".
This means that:
V = T*constant
V/T = constant

Based on this, the correct choice is:

At 19 ºC a volume of air takes us 9.0 mL in an expandable container. What is its volume after it is heated up to 50. ºC?
Katena32 [7]
According to Charles law, we know, at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature. 
So, <span>V/T = constant 
</span>
V₁/t₁ = V₂/t₂
V₁t₂ = V₂t₁

Here, we have: V₁ = 9 mL
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 50+272 = 323 K
T₁ = 19+273 = 292 K

Substitute their values into the expression:
9 × 323 = V₂ × 292
V₂ = 2907 / 292
V₂ = 9.95
After rounding-off to unit place value, it would be equal to 10 mL

So, In short Option C would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 8.9 km/s, and that of the longitudinal waves is 5.1 km/s. A se
Brrunno [24]

Answer: The distance is 723.4km

Explanation:

The velocity of the transverse waves is 8.9km/s

The velocity of the longitudinal wave is 5.1 km/s

The transverse one reaches 68 seconds before the longitudinal.

if the distance is X, we know that:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T2

T2 = T1 + 68s

Where T1 and T2 are the time that each wave needs to reach the sesmograph.

We replace the third equation into the second and get:

X/(9.8km/s) = T1

X/(5.1km/s) = T1 + 68s

Now, we can replace T1 from the first equation into the second one:

X/(5.1km/s) = X/(9.8km/s) + 68s

Now we can solve it for X and find the distance.

X/(5.1km/s) - X/(9.8km/s) = 68s

X(1/(5.1km/s) - 1/(9.8km/s)) = X*0.094s/km= 68s

X = 68s/0.094s/km = 723.4 km

How would the seasons change if the earth were tilted at 90 degrees instead of 23.5?
PIT_PIT [208]
<span>The 23.5 degree tilt is responsible for the seasons. If the earth had no tilt there would not be seasons. If the earth was tilted by 90 degrees the seasonal changes would be at the most extreme. The Earth's pole would point directly at the sun at a point on the track around the sun. As the Earth revolves around the Sun the pole would alternate twice each year between pointing directly at the sun and being perpendicular to the sun. 

I hope this helps you!
