You see a lightning bolt off in the distance, but it’s hard totell exactly how far. Speed of sound in air is roughly 1100feet/sec and there are 5280 feet in a mile.
1. You count the seconds (1-one-thousand, 2-one-thousand,...)and hear the thunder 15 seconds later. How far away was the strikein miles?
2. You count the seconds and hear thunder 0.1 seconds later. Howfar away was the strike in feet?
