Question

during a thunderstorm time interval between the lighting flash and sound of thunder is found to be 5s.when the speed of sound is 340m/s, find the distance of flash from the observe​

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER

The speed of the sound, distance traveled and the time taken relationship is given as follows.

$speed \: of \: sound = \frac{distance \: travelled}{time \: taken}$

From this equation the Distance traveled is derived as

Distance travelled=Speed of sound×Time taken

That is, Distance travelled=330m/s×5seconds, given that the speed of sound is 330 m/s.

= 1650 meters.

Hence, the distance of flash from the observer is 1650 meters.
