Question

A sound is heard 5 s later than the lightning is seen in the sky on a rainy day. Find the distance of location of lightning? Given the speed of sound = 346 ms^-1

Answer 1

 Speed = \(\frac{distance}{time}\)

Distance = speed x time = 346 x5 = 1730 m 

Thus, the distance of location of lightning = 1730 m.
