If you hear a clap of thunder in a time of 16.2s after seeing the associated lightning strike, you are: 5508 m far from the lightning strike

To solve this problem we must consider that the speed of light is greater than the speed of sound, therefore to calculate the distance we must use the speed of sound (340 m/s).

The formula and procedure we will use to solve this exercise is:

x = v * t

Where:

  • x = distance
  • t = time
  • v = velocity

Information about the problem:

  • v(sound) = 340 m/s
  • t = 16.2 s
  • x=?

Applying the distance formula we have that:

x = v * t

x= 340 m/s * 16.2 s

x = 5508 m

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).

Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.
