Answer: The speed of the ball is 7.64 m/s.

Explanation:

The distance between the player and the pins is 16.5m

if the velocity of the ball is V, then the time in which the ball reaches the pins is:

T = 16.5/V

Now, after this point, the sound needs

T' = 16,5/340 = 0.049 seconds to reach the player, this means that the time in that the ball needs to reach te pins is:

2.65 s - 0.49s = 2.16s

Then we have:

T = 2.16s = 16.5/V

V = 16.5/2.16 m/s = 7.64 m/s
