how fast are the clappers?

If a clapper were to come loose from the bell, it goes so fast it can pierce the floor of the bell chamber and fall into the ringing chamber and injure a ringer. All before you can say "Jack Robinson" (there's another question for you...)

About 18.5 miles per second. 66600 Mph

Clapper Skates are used in the Speed Skating but sideways ski jumping? That's a new one on me.

A.) 3.02891 seconds\nB.) 290.1 m/s\n\nTrust me... =)

The speed of light and other EM waves (in a vacuum) is:\n299,792,458 meters per second\n\nThe speed of sound (at sea level) is:\n340.29 meters per second\n\nThe ratio is 880,991 times faster.\nThe difference is 299,792,118 m/s faster.\n\nOr the simple answer is about a million times faster.\nThe even simpler answer is *lots* faster!\n\nThis also explains why you see far away lightning long before you hear the thunder clap (except in the movies).

Using your 800 miles per hour, we can reduce that to 0.22 miles per second.\n\nThis works out to approximately 1 mile per 5 seconds.  This explains the two previous answers which are correct.\n\nSimply count the seconds from when you see the lightning until you hear the thunder.  Then divide that count by 5, and thats how many miles away from the lightning you are (approximately).\n\nThe speed of sound varies considerable because of temperature and wind.  And, your count isn't that accurate either, but its good enough for an approximation.
