Question 999479: The speed of sound in air on a certain stormy day is about 1129 feet per second.
You see a flash of lightning striking some distance away, and five seconds later you hear the clap of thunder. How many miles away did the lightning strike? Round your answer to the nearest mile. Note: The speed of light is so much faster than the speed of sound that you can assume that the strike occurs at the instant you see it. Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
