At a typical bowling alley the distance from the line where the ball is released (foul line) to the first pin is 27m . Assume it takes 19ss for the ball to reach the pins after you release it if it rolls without slipping and has a constant translational speed. Also assume the mass of the ball is 9.6kg and has a diameter of 5cm.
What is its total kinetic energy in joules? ignore the finger holes and treat the bowling ball as a uniform sphere.
