It depends ... On the medium, geometry, topology, and many other factors.
In vacuum sound does not travel at all. Also on a line or on a surface sound travels different than in a volume. Temperature and other conditions also affect the speed of sound. Transverse waves travel at different speed than longitudinal, compression waves. Even longitude and latitude matter to some extent.
Sound is an energy that is transmitted across a medium so shape, composition, location, position, structure and almost about everything else that impact the wave, matters.
At sea level in normal atmospheric conditions say near London, sound travels 1126 feet every second in air . So it takes 1/563 second to travel 2 feet at sea level. Just slightly less than 2 milliseconds that is ...

∙ 14y agoThe speed of sound depends upon the medium through which the sound waves propagate and the properties of the medium (sate as solid or liquid or air, temperature, pressure, salinity, etc.).
Accordingly, the speed of sound in water depends on whether it is fresh or saline water and it depends on its temperature and pressure.
Assuming fresh water at 25 o C at atmospheric pressure, sound speed is about 1497 m/s.Accordingly, in two seconds sound travels: 2 (sec) x 1497 (m/sec) = 2994 meters
Answer is 2994 meters or about 3 kilometers

How can you determine how far lightning is away from sound?
You count 1,2,3,4,5, and every 5 seconds, the lightning is 1 mile away. 10 seconds would be 2 miles away, and so on.
In good weather and clear visibility drivers sure you keep a minimum following distance of?
At least 2 seconds of travel time between vehicles.
How does thunder roll?
Thunder is the sound that lightening makes. Sound travels through air at "the speed of sound." Officially, the speed of sound is 331.3 meters per second (1,087 feet per second) in dry air at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). At a temperature like 28 degrees C (82 degrees F), the speed is 346 meters per second. As you can see, the speed of sound changes depending on the temperature and the humidity; but if you want a round number, then something like 350 meters per second and 1,200 feet per second are reasonable numbers to use. So sound travels 1 kilometer in roughly 3 seconds and 1 mile in roughly 5 seconds. When you see the flash of a lightning bolt, you can start counting seconds and then divide to see how far away the lightning struck. If it takes 10 seconds for the thunder to roll in, the lightning struck about 2 miles or 3 kilometers away.
How far can lightning travel?
Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from it's parent storm cloud.
Is electricity faster than sound?
Yes. In air, sound travels at about 300 or 330 meters/second (it varies, depending on the temperature - also, sound in water or steel, for example, is quite a bit faster). But an electrical signal can go at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - that would be about 200,000 kilometers/second.
How far would you travel going 3 miles for 2 seconds?
If you you travel 3 miles, you would get 3 miles far.
How far will a soccer ball travel in 2 seconds?
Depends on the speed the ball travels.
How far will a car travel going 25 mph in 2 seconds?
6.6 meteres or 20 feet
If A sailboat moves at a constant speed of 2 meters per second How far does it travel every 10 seconds?
20
How far will you travel if you run for 10 minutes at 2 meters per second?
1 minute = 60 seconds so 10 mintes = 10*60 = 600 seconds. 2 metres per second = 2*600 = 1200 metres in 600 seconds
How can you determine how far lightning is away from sound?

How far do you travel in 2 second at 100km?
100 km per what time? speed is not given. Assume speed = 100 km/hour Then in 2 seconds you travel: 100 km/h = 100000/3600 m/second = 1000/36 meter/second in 2 seconds you travel 2000/36 meters = 500/9 meters = 55.6 meters
How long do sounds take to travel?
To travel where? - That would depend on the distance you want it to travel. In air, sound moves at about 310 meters per second (depends on the temperature). This is about 1,236 kilometers per hour (or 768 mph).
How far away can you hear a tiger roar?
The sound of a tiger's roar can travel a distance of up to 2 miles (~3 km).
How long to travel to London from Auckland by sea?
2 seconds
What is the average speed of a spider that takes 100 seconds to travel 2 meters?
2 metres in 100 seconds = 200 centimetres in 100 seconds = 2 cm per second.
How far can a 44 feet long vehicle travel in 2 seconds from a standing start?
[ (242/45) x (the vehicle's average speed in miles per hour) ] feet
