This question is a little bit different than the others and does not require watching a video. If I was to tell that a bolt of lightning just struck the roof of Wells Fargo Arena here in Tempe (33 25'28.42"N 111 55'51.63" W), and we are standing in the middle of the intersection of Broadway Rd and Mill Ave (33 24'27.05"N 111 56'23.24 W) in Tempe how many seconds would pass until we heard the crack of thunder? HINT: Use Google Earth to measure the straight line distance from the arena to the middle of the intersection. Also, use the formula Distance = Rate X Time, where your measured distance from the arena to our location is "Distance" and the "Rate" is the speed of sound in ft/sec. Solve for "Time." Round your final answer to the nearest whole second.
