the answer is 2,317 meters

The speed of light is much faster than sound. The storm is 2380 m far from Johnny.

Speed:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by an object and time. It is measured in m/s. The formula of speed is,

[tex]\bold{Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}}[/tex]

Given here,

The time taken by storm to reach Johnny =  7 sec.

The speed of sound =  340 m/s

Distance of storm =?

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]\bold{340 =\frac{Distance}{7} }[/tex]

Solve the equation for Distance,

Distance =  2380 m =  2.38 km

Therefore, the storm is 2380 m far from Johnny.
