Given Information:  

Elapsed time = t = 6 seconds

Required Information:

Distance = d = ?

Answer:

Distance = d = 2.058 km

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in the air is given by

v = 343 m/s

The relation between distance, speed and time is given by

distance = speed*time

substituting the given values yields,

distance = 343*6

distance = 2058 m

There are 1000 meters in 1 km so

d = 2058/1000

d = 2.058 km

Therefore, the storm is about 2.058 km away when elapse time between the lightning and the thunderclap is 6 seconds.

Mary starts from her house, walks 80 meters south, and stops to chat with her aunt on the sidewalk. After chatting for a few min
Alex

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance = (80m) + (125m) + (45m) = 250 meters

Overall time = 10 minutes

Average speed = (250 meters) / (10 minutes)

<em>Average speed = 25 meters/minute </em>

Since we're only looking for average speed and not velocity, we don't care about any of the directions, and we don't need to calculate Mary's displacement.
