What is the approximate distance of the thunderstorm if you notice a three-second delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of the thunder?

The approximate distance of the thunderstorm is about 1 kilometer away for each 3-second delay between the lightning flash and the thunder sound. So, if you notice a three-second delay, the storm is roughly 1 kilometer away from you.


What is the approximte distance of a thunderstorm if you notice a three-second delay between the flash of lighting and the sound of the thunder?

The approximate distance of a thunderstorm can be calculated by counting the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder and dividing by 5. Since sound travels at about 1,100 feet per second, a three-second delay indicates the thunderstorm is approximately 2,200 feet away, or about 0.42 miles.


What is the approximate distance of a thunderstorm if you notice a three-second delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of the thunder?

Using the average speed of sound in air (343 m/sec or about 1125 ft/sec), the distance would be 1029 meters (3376 ft.). *The English value used is 1000 feet per second, although 1100 feet per second is a better approximation. Note also, that the speed of sound varies with the density of air, which depends on temperature and altitude.


What are the three major components of an integral lightning protection system?

The three major components of an integral lightning protection system are the lightning rod or air terminal, the down conductor or lightning cable, and the grounding system or grounding rod. These components work together to safely capture and dissipate lightning strikes to protect structures from damage.

How can you estimate how far away the lightning strike will be?

By listening for the thunder. When you see a prominent lightning strike, start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two", etc. Each of those is about one second. There are five seconds in every mile (sound travels 1/5th of a mile per second). If you count to fifteen, the lightning strike is three miles away. Lightning and thunder occur at the same instant when the lightning strike is very close to you, and the thunder will sound more like a cymbal crash.


How many witches stirred the brew in mcbeth?

The witches are sort of an initial cause. By saying what they say to Macbeth, they provide a reason for him to behave as he does. Some might say that they cause his actions, but this is not correct. Macbeth always has a choice, but the chain of events in which his choices are some of the links start with the witches.


What is Thunder greek mythology?

I'm unsure if you're asking who the god of Thunder was in Greek mythology, or if there was a myth about what makes the thunder sound.I'll answer best I can.Zeus if the god responsible for thunder. But previously, thunder was personified in the presence of the Cyclopes named Brontes. Each of the three brothers personified a different part of the total experience of thunder and lightning: Steropes embodied the bolt of lightning, Argespersonified the accompanying flash of light and Brontesrepresented the following thunder. After being freed from Tartarus, they each gave a piece of their power to Zeus, in the form of his famed thunderbolts.


Heat lightning does it kill?

Potentially. Heat lightning is not a special kind of lightning: it is simply lightning that is too far away for the thunder to be heard. A fatal lightning bolt in a storm might only be visible as heat lightning 30 miles away.


What quote shows why Macbeth is good in battle?

One quote that shows Macbeth's skill in battle is when the wounded captain describes him as "brave Macbeth" who "carved out his passage / Till he faced the slave" (Act 1, Scene 2). This demonstrates Macbeth's courage and effectiveness as a soldier in facing and defeating his enemies in combat.


What is the approximate distance of the thunderstorm if you notice a three-second delay between the flash of lightning and the sound of the thunder?

The approximate distance of the thunderstorm is about 1 kilometer away for each 3-second delay between the lightning flash and the thunder sound. So, if you notice a three-second delay, the storm is roughly 1 kilometer away from you.

"When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, and in rain? When the hurly-burly's done When the battle's lost and won." Clearly two events that are going on are a thunderstorm and a battle.


How far away is the thunderstorm if there is 20 seconds between each lightning strike?

This doesn't really make sense because there is no specific time span between lightning strikes. The only thing I can say is that if the lightning is brighter, than it is no more than three miles way from where you are currently. And I'm not talking about altitude either.
