Thanks for this, I was taught wrong as a child. I was just told every second was one mile but it closer to ever 5 secs equals a mile; thank for clearing that up for me.
A friend of mine told me that if a thunderbolt falls from the sky to the ground, how far it falls can be calculated in a simple way. And today I finally found out. Thank you very much.
I use this excellent video in my Physics class to introduce the concept of wave speed. If you use this for educational purposes, be aware that some periods are used in place of commas for numerical placeholders. The speed of light is 300000 km/s (three hundred thousand), not 300.000 km/s (three hundred) as shown in the video (it's also 186000 mi/s not 186 mi/s); and as noted in another comment, the correct distance at the end is 1700 m (not 1.7 m). The other periods in the video are used as decimal points and the math appears to be correct.
-- If you meant that when a meteor hits the ground and explodes, it can be applied. First you see its explosion (light) than you hear its sound like a thunder in the video. -- Frequency, temperature, medium changes the speed of sound. For example if you see an explosion in water and hear its sound after 5 seconds, the distance between you and the explosion is 1500 m/s x 2 seconds = 3000 meters. (This is because speed of sound in water is about 1500 m/s)

YEP!
you can just remember that the speed of sound is 330 m/s
@@redminecrafter101 at 0℃ yes, at 20℃ it's 343 m/s
How many of you are looking this up while there’s a storm near you? I am
Right now on Guam.
Im for homework

This helped a lot
Thanks
Now I can do something when I'm bored 😂🔥🔥
Thank you!
It’s actually thundering and lightning right now one of them hit 500 m away thanks 🙏 ❤
Watching while a thunderstorm hit my house 😂
Awesome. Thank you.
Thnx a lot 💫🌼...
How come you added a decimal for the final answer of the distance?
If you talk about 1.700 meters, it should've been 1,700 meters. Sorry for the typo.
is the same method can be applied to meteors when we can hear them and see them? How about the frequency of the sound? does it matter?

Thank you bro 🥰🥰
Thanks
When I see it count to thunder . Seconds 3 miles . Then news 😅
U c the dark first it's light a volb lol ruler n distance LoL
