To solve the problem of how far the lightning is from the man, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: We know that the man hears the thunder 4 seconds after he sees the lightning. The speed of sound in air is given as 330 m/s. We need to find the distance from the man to where the lightning struck. 2. **Use the Formula for Distance**: The formula to calculate distance when speed and time are known is: \[ ...
