Question

The sound of thunder is heard 5 seconds after the flash of lighting. If the speed of the sound is 330 m/s find the height of the cloud.

Answer 1

Given that,

• Height of the cloud = ? (d) say
• Time taken to hear the sound = 5 seconds.
• Speed of the sound = 330 m/s

we know that,

• Distance = Speed × Time
• Distance = 330 m/s × 5 s
• Distance = 1650 m.

Therefore, the Height of the cloud is 1650 m.

Hope this helps you.
