travels at the speed of sound, which is about 750 miles per hour. a. If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning? b. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?

Answer:

A.  <u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of lightning = 186,000 miles per second

Speed of sound = 750 miles per hour

2. A.  If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning?

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 186,000 * 4

<u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?</u>

<u>Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>
