Standing on a hill, you see a bolt of lightning hit a building you know is 1900 rods away. How many seconds does it take the sound of thunder to reach you? Use 760 mile per hour for the speed of sound. 16.5 feet = 1 rod and 1 minute = 60 seconds.

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.

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. Lightning bolt 1 at x=0km and lightning bolt 2 at x = 13.0km. Both flashes reach your eye at the same time. Your assistant is standing at x = 2.0km If your assistant didn't see the flashes at the same time, what is the time difference between the two flashes? answer in us

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?

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?

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...

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.)

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...
