Given : t= 6.5 s ; vs= 340 m/s
Solution:
As the speed of sound in air is given: vs= 340 m/s
It takes 6.5 m/s to reach the listener.
Hence the distance of lightening from the listener :
x= 340m/s × (6.5s) =2210 m = 2.21 km
Please provide step by step directions on how you worked the problem out It was a...
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.
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.)
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?
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...

Can you show me how to do this problem step by step and draw the graph liysics ihematics ine Dimension Distance, Acceleration and Velocity Practice Problems A van travels at a constant speed of 18 m/s for 4.3 seconds. It begins to accelerate at a rate of 3.4 m/s2 for 5.1 seconds and then maintains that speed for another 15 seconds. Finally, it slows down to rest in 14.8 seconds. How far did the van travel during this time.
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
Please answer the following physic questions. Thank you! 1. A dog sees a flowerpot sail up and then back past a window 5.0 ft high. If the total time the pot is in sight is 1.0 seconds, find the height above the window that the pot rises. 2. An elevator ascends with an upward acceleration of 4.0 ft/s2. At the instant its upward speed is 8.0 ft/s, a loose bolt drops from the ceiling of the elevator 9.0 ft from...
