Students have asked these similar questions

An engineer drops a penny into a wishing well and measures the time for the sound or a splash to return a. Without considering the speed of sound, how far is the water surface if the sound returns after 2 s. b. What about if the speed of sound is 332 m/s

A lighting is observed, followed by thunder 2.55 seconds later. If speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, how many kilometers away did the lighting strike?

Picnickers see a lightning flash and hear the resulting thunder 5 seconds later. The storm is traveling at a rate of 21 km/hr.Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound.(a) Roughly how far away is the storm in miles?Don't use this number for parts (b) thru (e)(b) How far away is the storm (hint: use 344 m/s...)?(c) How fast is the storm in m/s?(d) How long do the picnickers have before the storm arrives (sec)?(e) How long do the picnickers have before the storm arrives (min)?
