Question

On a rainy day sound is heard 5 seconds later than the lightning. If the speed of the sound is 350m/s. Find the location of the lightning in the sky.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of sound =350m/s

time=5sec

so,distance = speed × time

distance= 350 × 5

distance = 1750 meter

Answer 2

Answer:

1730 meters

Explanation:

Let someone is Nita:

Suppose Nita is stood in open ground and she heard the lightning sound after 2 seconds of seeing it.

Given that,

Velocity of sound in air = 346 m/s

Time required = 5 seconds

To find: Distance between Nita and that Lightning

So,

Velocity = Distance / Time

346 m/s = Distance / 5 seconds

Distance = Velocity * Time

Distance = 346 * 5

Distance = 1730 meters

Therefore, the distance of Lightning from Nita is 1730 meters.
