Question

13 formula 1 point what is the acceleration of a bowling ball that when it hits the pins it had a speed of 5 m/s and the time it took from the hand of the player to the pins was 4 seconds? note: please only type the number. round up your answer to only one decimal if needed. answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the acceleration formula

The formula for acceleration is \(a=\frac{v - u}{t}\), where \(v\) is the final velocity, \(u\) is the initial velocity (assuming the ball starts from rest, so \(u = 0\) m/s), \(t\) is the time.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

Here, \(v=5\) m/s, \(u = 0\) m/s, \(t = 4\) s. So \(a=\frac{5-0}{4}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25\) m/s².
