Question

If we listen to the sound of lightning 10 sec,after observing it,how far are we from the place where lightning occurs if speed of the sound is 330m/s

Answer 1

you are 3300m away from the lightning

Answer 2

Answer:

3300 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that speed is defined as distance traveled divided by the time.

The speed of the sound is 330 m/s

that means in 1 sec it travel 330 m

so in 10 sec it travel $330\times10=3300$ m

Therefore we are at a distance of 3300 m or 3.3 km from the distance where lightning occurs.
