During a thunderstorm, 3.1 s elapses between observing a lightning flash and hearing the resulting thunder. Approximately how far away in kilometers and miles was the lightning flash? (Assume the speed of sound is 344 m/s.)

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.

You are standing at x=8.0km and
your assistant is standing at x=5.0km. Lightning bolt 1 strikes at
x=0km and lightning bolt 2 strikes at x=12.0km. You see the flash
from bolt 2 at t=12μs and the flash from bolt 1 at t=60μs.
According to your assistant, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? You are standing at z 8.0km and your assistant is standing at5.0km. Lightning bolt 1 strikes at 0 km and lightning bolt 2 strikes at T 12.0km. You see...

You are standing at x = 9.0 km. Lightning bolt 1 at x=0km and lightning bolt 2 at x = 12.5 km. Both flashes reach your eye at the same time. Your assistant is standing at x = 3.0 km. If your assistant didn't see the flashes at the same time, what is the time difference between the two flashes?

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
If a lightning occurred exactly 1 mile from your location how many seconds will it take for the sound waves created by the thunder to reach your ears at 343 m/s?

problem out
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.)

13. Recall from our last unit that air "breaks down" and starts conducting - resulting either in a little spark, or in lightning - when the electic field in the air reaches about 3 MV/m.

After several damaging lightning strikes during midwestern summer thunderstorms, you've decided to protect your house by setting up an iron lightning rod. The lightning rod is 6.0 meters tall, with the top sharpened to a point and the bottom in good contact with the ground. After some googling, you've determined that lightning bolts typically carry about 30,000 amps of current and last around 60 microseconds. a. Assuming that you can trust the internet, how much charge is delivered by a...
