The impact of an event happening at a distance takes some time to reach the observer. This is the lag time and, as the distance increases, the lag time increases. The increase depends on the velocity of transmission of the information.
For example, the lag time for a flash of lightning depends on the speed of light; the lag time for the clap of thunder depends on the speed of sound; the lag time for the person that the lightning bolt missed depends on how fast they can run to you.

How will the total distance traveled by a car in 2 hours be affected if the average speed of a car?
If the average speed of the car....Here is an unfinished question. The total distance is average speed times time. But since average speed is gotten by dividing total distance by the time, then it's a kind of circular question.
Speed equals time divided by distance?
Distance = Rate x Time Rate = Distance/Time, not Time/Distance
How do you do distance rate and time problems?
Generally: RATE = DISTANCE / TIME -or- DISTANCE = RATE * TIME -or- TIME = DISTANCE / RATE qed
What is distance multiplied by time?
Speed is distance divided by time, but distance times time is not a recognizable quantity.
How can you calculate the rate of speed if we know distance and time?
Average speed during the time = (distance) divided by (time for that distance)
What happens to the lag time as the distance from the epicenter increases?
It Also Increases
What happens to the lag time as distance from the epicenter increases?
It Also Increases
What is the relationship between lag time and distance from an earthquake's epicenter?
The more is the time taken and the distance recorded by the seismograph, the more is the effect of an earthquake:)
What is the distance of a station from the epicenter if the s-p lag time is measured to be 35.5 seconds?
20 km
If the lag time between the arrival of the P waves and the S waves is 5 minutes what is the distance to the epicenter?
4,000 kilometers
What is the prognosis for people affected by jet lag?
Jet lag usually lasts 24-48 hours after travel has taken place. In that short time period, the body adjusts to the time change, and with enough rest and daytime exposure to sunlight, it returns to normal circadian rhythm.
What is the difference between an inside lag and an outside lag?
Inside lag is the time to implement (pass) a policy, while outside lag is the time it needs to take effect.
Is speed affected by a decrease in the time it takes to run a certain distance?
Yes.
Aircraft instrument affected by hysteresis error?
a diaphragm displacement gives 2 possible pressures, elastic after-effect finally compensates the measurement --> time lag
What is the time lag between the arrival of light at a metal surface and the emission of photoelectron?
no time lag.................
What is lag in statistic?
An event occuring at time t+k is said to lag behind event occurring at time t. Extent of lag is k.
An object travels a given distance at a speed of 5 m s If the object travels the same distance at a higher speed how will the time it takes the object to travel the distance be affected?
It will take less time.
