Given that,
- Distance between torpical storm and Ingrid = ?
- Time to hear the thunder = 9 Seconds
- Speed of sound = 350 m/s.
we know that,
- Distance = Speed × Time
- Distance = 35 m/s × 9 s
- Distance = 1750 m.
Therefore, the distance between the torpical storm and Ingrid is 1750m.
Hope this helps you.
