Question
A bowling ball traveling with constant speed hits the pins at the end of a bowling lane 16.5 m long. The bowler hears the sound of the ball hitting the pins 2.80 s after the ball is released from his hands. What is the speed of the ball, assuming the speed of sound is 340 m????s?

Answer:
Explanation:
We were told to calculate the speed of the ball,
Given speed of sound as 340 m
And we know that the sound of the ball hitting the pins is at 2.80 s after the ball is released from his hands.
Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing – time the sound travels).
Speed= S/t
Where S= distance traveled
t= time of hearing – time the sound travels
time=time for ball to roll+timefor sound to come back.
time of sound=16.5/340
=0.048529secs
solving for speedof ball
Then,Speed of ball = distance traveled/(time of hearing – time the sound travels).
=16.5/(2.80-0.048529) m/s = 5.997m/s
Therefore, the speed of the ball is
5.997m/s
