The speed of sound in air is 343 meters per second. You see lightning and hear thunder 12 seconds later. a. Is there a proportional relationship between the amount of time that passes and your distance from a lightning strike? Explain. b. Estimate your distance from the lightning strike.



Answer :

a) there is a proportional relationship between the amount of time and distance from a lightning strike.

b)The distance from the lightning strike is 4,116 meter.

The speed of sound in air = 343 meters per second

Time to see lightning  = 12 second.

a)Time and distance are directly proportional to each other.

as we know:

distance = speed  x time

distance ∝ speed

distance ∝ time

b)The distance can be calculated as :

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 343 x 12

Distance = 4,116 meter.

a) there is a proportional relationship between the amount of time and distance from a lightning strike.

b)The distance from the lightning strike is 4,116 meter.
