Explanation:
This is like any other problem that deals with motion at constant speed. To find distance travelled, you multiply speed by time taken:
d=v×t
=340m/s×8s
=2720m/s²
The sound has travelled at steady speed from the same source as the lightning, but the speed of the light was so great ( 3×10^8)
that we ignore the time it took to reach you.
