...seen. . .? If the speed of the sound is 330 m/s and the time between flash and thunder is 3 seconds, what is the distance to the lightning bolt in feet?
one way to do this is to compute the distance in meters and convert that to feet.
Distance = Velocity x time = (330)(3) = 990 m
I remember that 1 inch = 2.54 cm
so
1 inch = 0.0254 m
39.4 in = 1.000 m
990 m = 990(39.4)/12 ? 3250 ft ANS
