Question

A sound is heard 5 seconds later than the lighting is seen in the sky. Calculate the distance of the location of lightning. Given speed of sound is 346 m/s .

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of sound = 346 m/sec.

                   Time=5 seconds.  

            Distance= Speed* Time  

Put values in formula

           Distance=5 x 346

            Distance= 1730 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance = 1.73 km

Explanation:

A sound is heard 5 seconds later than the lighting is seen in the sky. Calculate the distance of the location of lightning

Sound heard after 5 secs

Neglecting the time taken by lightning

Speed of Sound = 346 m/s

Distance = Speed * Time

=> Distance = 346 * 5

=> Distance = 1730 m

=> Distance = 1.73 km

1.73 km is the distance of the location of lightning.
