Lightning Strikes Suppose that two people standing mile apart both see a flash of lightning. After a period of time, the first person standing at point hears the thunder. Two seconds later, the second person standing at point hears the thunder. If the person at point is due west of the person at point and if the lightning strike is known to occur due north of the person standing at point , where did the lightning strike occur?
