Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

V

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s

The speed of sound in air is approximately 340 m/s. The speed of light in air is approximately 3 x 108 m/s. If 10 seconds elapse
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

3400 m

Explanation:

Both lightning and thunder happen at the same time but one is faster than the other. The distance traveled by a sound can be calculated from its speed such that;

 speed = distance/time, hence, distance = speed x time.

<em>For a thunder with 340 m/s speed and 10 seconds away from lightning, the distance between the thunder and the lightning can be calculated as</em>;

distance = 340 m/s x 10 s = 3400 m
