The height of a cloud above the earth is 100 m. If an observer hears the sound of thunder 0.3 s after the lightening is seen what is the velocity of sound on that day?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the velocity of sound given the height of the cloud and the time it takes for the sound to reach the observer after seeing the lightning. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Height of the cloud (h) = 100 m - Time taken for sound to reach the observer (t) = 0.3 s ...
