An enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm to take some readings while you stay dry at home. While Clark is at the center of the storm, he sees and hears lightning strike a tree that is 190 m from where he is standing. You are 140 km from the tree. How long does it take for the sound to reach Clark

407.61 seconds

Explanation:

Given that an enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm to take some readings while you stay dry at home. While Clark is at the center of the storm, he sees and hears lightning strike a tree that is 190 m from where he is standing. You are 140 km from the tree. How long does it take for the sound to reach Clark

Solution.

The distance between the Clark and you will be:

Distance = 140km - 190m

Distance = 140000 - 190

Distance = 139810 m

The radius of the earth is also considered but it will surely be insignificant as you subtracted the two distance values.

Using the formula

Speed = distance/time

Where

The speed of sound = 343 m/s

343 = 139810 / t

Make time the subject of formula

t = 139810 / 343

t = 407.61 s

Therefore, it will take 407.61 seconds for the sound to reach Clark

since you're a real machine, your ama is always less than your ima, because you can never totally eliminate friction.

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
