Josh rolled a bowling ball down a lane in 2.5 seconds. The ball travelled at a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s/s down the lane and was traveling at a speed of 7.6 m/s by the time it reached the pins at the end of the lane. How fast was the ball going when it left Josh's hand?

    Ok, so slope of the lane gives the ball a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s for 2.5 s

    [lane slope = arcsine (1.8/9.8) = 10.6°]

    which increases speed of the ball by

    1.8 (2.5) = 4.5 m/s

    The ball reaches the pins with a speed = 7.6 m/s, so it must have left Josh's hand with a speed of

    7.6 - 4.5 = 3.1 m/s ANS
