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
1 answer:
Answer:
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

and 
are the initial and final angular speed of the wheel, and t the time.
In our problem, the initial angular speed is zero (the wheel starts from rest), so the angular acceleration is
(b) The wheel is moving by uniformly rotational accelerated motion, so the angle it covered after a time t is given by
