Question

The time that passes between the time you see lightning and you hear the thunder depends on your distance from the lightning. With each km from the lightning 3 seconds pass.
a) Make a table of values for distances from 0 to 5 km.
b) Graph this relation. State whether it is a linear or non-linear relation.
c) Using your graphed relation, how much time passes before you hear lightning that occurs 4.5 km away?
d) Using your graphed relation, how far away are you if you hear the thunder in 1.5 seconds?

Answer 1

When the lightning occurs 4.5 km away then we will hear after 13.5 seconds and if we hear after 1.5 seconds then we are 0.5 km away from lightning.

Given With each km from the lightning 3 seconds passes.

a) The table of values for distances from 0 to 5 km.

     Distances                     Time

            0                              0

            1                               3

            2                              6

            3                               9

            4                               12

            5                                15

b) The graph of lightning is a linear relation because it is increasing constantly by 3 seconds. f(x)=3x

c) When distance =1  , the time be 3 seconds

when distance =4.5  , the time=3*4.5

=13.5 seconds.

d) When time is 3 seconds = 1km

when time =1.5 seconds , the distance be 1/2=0.5 km.
