If sound travels at a speed of 330 miles per second, that's equivalent to about
1,188,000 miles per hour, and it takes the sound of thunder 0.002824 second
to travel 1,500 meters.
But it doesn't. In order to arrive at a reasonable solution, we need to get our
constants straight. The speed of sound is not 330 miles per second. It's more
like 330 meters per second.
1,500/330 = 4.545 seconds.(rounded)
the sound takes 13.6709 or 14 secs (approx).
all you need to know to answer this question is d=rt
we take d=1500m and r=300m/s
we want to find t (time)
t = d/r = 1500m / 300m/s =5s
it would take 5 seconds.
3.9759 seconds.
1,500/330 = 4.55 seconds (rounded)

How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per sec.
Light travels at 299792458 meters per second in a vacuum.
Sound travels at around this speed in air.It's possible that you are thinking of something else that could travel at this speed, but sound was the first thing that I thought of.
Well, all light travels at well, the speed of light, which is 2.98 *10^8 meters/second.
0.3 cm a) one trillionth of a second= 1.0x10^-12 b) light travels at = 3x10^8 meters per second b/a= 0.0003 meters = 0.3 cm actually 0.03cm or 0.3mm or 300µm

1500 meters/330 meters per second = 4.55 seconds
How much time would it take for the sound of thunder to travel 2000 meters if sound travels a speed of 330 meters per sec.
Thunderstorms can be nearly stationary, while others can clip along at the rate of 50 mph or more.
In a vacuum, light will travel 299,792,458 meters in one second.
Sound travels, in air, at about 320 meters per second. Light travels about 300 000 000 meters per second
Light travels at 299792458 meters per second in a vacuum.
Light travels at 299792458 meters per second in a vacuum.
2191.21 meters per second.
Sound travels at the speed of 1,481.99 meters per second in fresh water.
-Light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second.-There is 31,556,926 seconds in one year.-Light travels 9,460,528,412,464,108 meters in one year and after doing the math, light travels 9,460,528,412,464.108 kilometers in one year.
distance = rate * time 1000 meters = 331 meters/second * x seconds x = 1000 / 331 So about 3 seconds.
