I thought places with high mountains would have more. Wonder why flat Florida attracts lightning. If anyone knows, please reply. Thanks. KATHEE FERRIS 5 years ago The last question, timing a lightening strike, doesn’t make sense to me! I just say, ‘10001, 1002, etc.’ demarree1 5 years ago 9 out 10 getting better! Carol 5 years ago I was always told to Count the Seconds between the Thunder and the Lightning and that is how many miles it was to me. JimG 5 years ago Isn’t the final question ambiguous. In order to ask the question correctly, shouldn’t the units for measuring distance be included in the question. (I think that the correct units are miles.) If this is true, then I think that the question should be worded as follows: “Dividing the number of seconds between lighting and thunder by which number indicates the distance (in miles) from the storm.” DrH 5 years ago The reason you divide by 5 is because you are calculating how far the sound has traveled (speed of sound). 1125 ft/sec–5 sec would be a little over a mile. Bardy58 5 years ago 9/10 missed the last question Byron 5 years ago There is no *-city-* (or town, etc.) in Florida named Tampa Bay . . . Frank E Baines 5 years ago Sounds travels 768 miles per hour, divide that by 3600 seconds/hour, you get .21333333333333 miles/second, multiply that by 5280 feet/mile, you get 1127 feet/second. Divide 5280 by 1127, you get 4.68 seconds when the lightening is one mile away. wpDiscuz170Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details The AMAC Store Sweepstakes Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
