There is a delay from the time someone sees a flash of lightning to the time that thunder is heard due to the time it takes for sound to travel from where the lightning struck to where you are when you hear the thunder. If you hear thunder 13.6 seconds after seeing the lightning, how far away did the lightning bolt strike? Take the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s. Answer in metres.
Homework Answers
D = vt
= (343m/s)(13.6s)
= 4664.8 m - distance of the point where lightning struck.

It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly you saw a flash of lightning. Six and a half seconds later you heard the thunder. Given that the speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s, how far away was the lightning bolt? (Ignore the travel time for the flash of light.)

Suppose you hear a clap of thunder 13.4 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. The speed of light in air is 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s. (a) How far are you from the lightning strike? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.) km (b) Do you need to know the value of the speed of light to answer? Yes No

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder arrive 7.8 seconds later. How many miles away was the lightning strike? (Assume the light takes essentially no time to reach you.)

Distance from a lightning strike A general rule of thumb is that if you see lightning, there is one mile for every five seconds before the thunder is heard. Check this against the actual speed of sound Speed of sound at 20 C is approximately 343 m/s.

3- During the storm K. Lear saw a flash of lightning. After 10 sec had elapsed, he heard thunder. The speed of sound in air at room temperature is about 1100 ft/sec ( or about 3.4 x 10^4 cm/ sec). How far away from him did the lightning originate?

You are watching a lightning storm through your window. You see a big flash of light and you start counting the seconds: one potato, two potatoes, three potatoes... You hear loud thunder when you are at 13 in your counting. If sound travels one kilometer in three seconds, then how far is the storm from you? You can get a pretty good approximation of the distance in miles, if you assume that sound travels one mile in five seconds. What...

The speed of the sound in air is approximately v=331.4 m/s + (0.6 m/c⋅C)T where T is the temperature in degrees Celsius. The speed of the light is 300000 km/s. The speed of the light is so large that in practical terms, involving distances on Earth, the light travels instantly. On a cool night with air temperature of about 10∘C, you see a lightning flash and then hear the thunder rumble five seconds later. How far is the lightning strike?

If you’re outside and you see lightening, you should always take cover. Then, it is interesting to figure out how far away the lightning really is. You can do this using the properties of sound waves. Assume the velocity of sound is 350 m/s as it travels through the air and you hear the thunder after you’ve seen the bolt of lightning in 2 seconds. How far away is the lightning in km? Select one: a. 17 km b. 1.2...

During a thunderstorm a bolt of lightning strikes 2.51 km away from you. 1) How much time elapses between when the lightning strikes and when the light reaches your eyes? 2)If the speed of sound is 343 m/s, how much time elapses before the sound of thunder reaches your ears?
4) A child sees a flash of lightning and hears the rumple of thunder 5.00 seconds later. How far away is the lightning? (5 pts)
