Question

2.Lightning can be seen the moment it occurs. Paheli observes lightning in her area. She hears the sound 5 s
after she observed lightning. How far is she from the place where lightning occurs? (speed of sound = 330
m/s).

Answer 1

Answer:

She is 1650 m or 1.65 km  away from the place where lightning struck

Explanation:

distance=speed*time

therefore, distance= 330*5

= 1650

Hope it helps you... =))

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance = Speed ×Time.

Given that the speed of sound in air is 330 meters per second and the time taken is 5 seconds, distance covered can be calculated as follows.

D=330m/s×5s=1650m

Hence, Paheli is at a distance of 1.65 kilometers from the lightning spot.
