Calculate the speed of a bowling ball that moves 8 meters in 4 seconds.
The speed of a ball for a given distance and time of travel.
Answer to Problem 27A
The speed of the ball is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A bowling ball traveling a distance of 8 m in 4 s.
Formula used:
The distance travelled by an object moving with an average speed for a given time is expressed as,
From this, the average speed can be calculated as,
Calculation:
Here, the the distance travelled by the ball is 8 m and time is 4 s. Thus, the speed is given by,
Conclusion :
The speed of ball for a given distance and time is
