Question

In a thunderstorm at 32.0°C, Reginald sees a bolt of lightning and hears the thunderclap 2.00s later. How far from Reginald did the lightning strike? The speed of sound through air at 32.0°C is 350.2 m/s. Show your work.

PLEASE HELP, THANKS!​

Answer 1

d = 700.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of sound through air at 32.0°C is 350.2 m/s.

Reginald sees a bolt of lightning and hears the thunderclap 2.00s later.

We need to find how far from Reginald did the lightning strike. Let the distance be d. So,

Speed = distance/time

d = vt

So,

d = 350.2× 2

d = 700.4 m

So, the required distance is 700.4 m.
