If workers in a distant stone quarry are blasting why can you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it?

The reason you feel the explosion in your feet before you hear it is due to the difference in the speed of sound through different mediums. The shockwave travels faster through solid material (like the ground) than through the air, so you sense the vibrations in the ground before you hear the sound through the air.


Why do the people sitting at a distance hear sound at the same time as the people sitting nearby?

This will only happen if the distances are not that great so the difference in time is so small that it is not detected. Sound travels a few hundred metres per second in air. An explosion heard a mile away will be about 5 seconds after those near the explosion hear it.

What two physics mistakes occur when you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time?

The two mistakes are that sound travels slower than light, so if you see and hear a distant explosion at the same time, the explosion actually happened some time earlier. Additionally, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound, so the light from the explosion will reach you much sooner than the sound.


When an explosion in the atmosphere occurs Why do you see lightning before the thunder heard?

Lightning is light, which travels faster than sound. So when an explosion occurs, you see the lightning first as it travels to your eyes at the speed of light, while the sound of the thunder takes longer to reach your ears, causing a delay between the two.
