On a cloudy day, the sound of thunder was heard 4.5 s after the flash of light was seen. How far was the cloud? Given that speed of sound = 340m/s

We will be able to see the flash almost immediately as light travels at a very fast speed. But, the speed of sound is much lesser so it will take some time. 
So the distance of the cloud is given by,
Speed of sound x time=340 x 4.5=1530 m

HELLO FRIEND

GIVEN SPEED OF SOUND = 340 M /S AND TIME = 4.5 S

SO WE KNOW 2D =V*T ( THE SOUND GOES AND REFLECTS SO TOTAL DISTANCE = 2D)

2D = 340 * 4.5

2D = 1530

D = 1530 / 2

D = 765 M

I HOPE IT HELPS THUMPS UP PLEASEE !!

thanks :) But I can't be sure if it's the correct answer or not, I need an expert to approve of it first. But I'll still give you the thumbs up because philantrophy is wise.
