    Answer:

    5.997m/s

    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
