Question

You see lightning and hear the thunder 6.0 seconds later. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how far away was the lightning?

2040 m

6120 m

58 m

24.5 km

0.0176 m

Answer 1

2040 m or 2.04 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate distance is D = v * t

D = Distance

v = velocity

t = time

Now plug and chug

D = 340 m/s * 6.0s = 2040 m = 2.04 km
