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.
The observable universe consists of galaxies and other matter that can, principally, be seen from Earth because the light signals have had time to reach us. Not everything in the sky is the way it is when we see it, because of the distance the light travels to reach us.
Hope this helps :)
Yes. Copper, mercury, and tin are all used to fill in cavities.
