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)
It would take approximately 4.55 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel 1500 meters at a speed of 330 meters per second. This is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed of sound.
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.
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.
Sound travels at approximately 1500 meters per second in water.
Sound travels faster through wood than through water. In wood, sound travels at around 3300 meters per second, while in water it travels at around 1500 meters per second.

It would take approximately 4.55 seconds for the sound of thunder to travel 1500 meters at a speed of 330 meters per second. This is calculated by dividing the distance by the speed of sound.
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.
Thunder travels at the speed of sound, which is approximately 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second) in air at room temperature. The speed of sound can vary depending on temperature and humidity levels in the atmosphere.
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.

Sound travels at approximately 1500 meters per second in water.
A quick rule of thumb is 5 seconds. Since sound travels at a little over 1000 feet per second which is about a fifth of a mile. A better estimate is 1125 feet per second. 5280 / 1125 = 4.693 seconds
