Question 934867
A bowling ball rolled down a lane in 2.5 seconds.The ball traveled at a constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s squared 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 initially?
-------------------
7.6 = v0 + 1.8*2.5 = v0 + 4.5
vo = 3.1 m/sec
----------------
I've never seen a bowling ball accelerate after release.
