document.write( "Question 806777: You can figure how far away lightning is by counting the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the following clap of thunder. The speed of sound is about 1100 feet per second. Thus, if you hear thunder 3 seconds after you see lightning, the lightning is about 3 x 1100 = 3300 feet away.
\n" ); document.write( "1) Write and equation you can use to predict the distance lightning is from you by using the number of seconds between the lightning and the thunder.
\n" ); document.write( "2) Find the slope and the y-intercept for the equation and explain what this information means in the context of this problem.
\n" ); document.write( "3) If lightning hits 1 mile away, how many seconds will elapse before you hear the thunder? (1mile=5280 feet)
\n" ); document.write( "4) If you hear the thunder 6 1/2 seconds after you see the lightning, how far away did the lightning hit? \n" ); document.write( "
