Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thunder is a sound wave created

by a lightning strike. If it travels at

343 m/s, how much time does it

take to travel a mile (1610 m)?

(Unit = s)

Answer 1

4.69s

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find time is time = distance / velocity

Plug the numbers into the formula

So

1610 / 343

= 4.69s

Answer 2

t = 9.38 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the sound wave, v = 343 m/s

Distance, d = 1610 m

We need to find the time taken to travel a mile. The distance traveled by the sound is 2d. Using the formula for speed,

`v=(2d)/(t)`

t is the time taken to travel a mile

So,

`t=(2d)/(v)\\\\t=(2* 1610)/(343)\\\\t=9.38\ s`

So, it will take 9.38 seconds.
