Respuesta :

The speed of sound through an aluminum is 5100 m/s.
Speed is distance over time.
s = d/t
Since t is unknown, the answer will be
t = d/s = 150/5100 = 0.029 seconds

Answer:

0.029 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound in aluminim is v = 5100 m/s.

The sound travels in aluminium by uniform motion (constant speed), so we can find the time it takes to cover a certain distance by using the equation:

[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}[/tex]

where d is the distance covered, in this case d = 150 m. Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

[tex]t=\frac{150 m}{5100 m/s}=0.029 s[/tex]
