Answer:
2380m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Time taken to hear the sound after lightning = 7s
Unknown:
Distance of the storm = ?
Solution:
Light has been shown to travel faster than sound. To solve this problem,
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time taken}[/tex]
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time
Distance = speed x time taken
The speed of sound is given as 340m/s
Distance = 340 x 7 = 2380m
