The time interval between seeing the flash of lightning and crack of thunder is 7s. Of tje velocity of sound os 340ms? find the height of cloud

Time taken for sound to travel = 7s
Speed = 340m/s
Distance = ?
From formula of speed
Distance (Height of cloud) = Speed x Time
                 = 340 x 7 = 2380m or 2.38km

Time (t) = 7 seconds
Initial velocity (U) = 340m/s
Final velocity (V) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = ?
Let the height of the cloud be S.
As referring to the formula of Position-Time relation ( S = Ut + 1/2 at^2 )
Therefore a = V - U/t, a = 0 - 340/7 = -48.57142857142857
Therefore S = Ut + 1/2 at^2, S = 340*7 + 1/2*-48.57142857142857*7*7 = -2,393,999,997,640.49958
