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 2.50 s after the ball is released from his hands. What is the speed of the ball? The speed of sound is 340 m/s.

Tb + Ts = 2.5 s.

Ts = 2.5-Tb.

d = Vs*(2.5-Tb) = 16.5 m.
340*(2.5-Tb) = 16.5.
850-340Tb = 16.5.
340Tb = 833.5.
Tb = 2.45 s. = Time of the ball.

d = Vb*Tb = 16.5.
Vb*2.45 = 16.5.
Vb = 6.73 m/s.

To find the speed of the ball, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

In this case, we know the distance the ball traveled (16.5 m) and the time it took for the sound to reach the bowler (2.50 s). However, we are trying to find the speed of the ball.

We can rearrange the distance formula to solve for speed:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Plugging in the values we have:

Speed = 16.5 m ÷ 2.50 s

Calculating this, we get:

Speed = 6.60 m/s

So, the speed of the bowling ball is 6.60 m/s.
