Something about objects don’t move instantaneously but at the speed of sound that material has, so the stick would move way later.
If you think about it, speed of sound inside a medium is basically how fast the particles inside that medium can send energy from one another.
Yep. Like holding a jump rope between two people, and one of them sends a wave through it to the other. The force still has to travel through the material.
