Average speed = (distance rolled) / (time to roll the distance)

Average speed = (32 meters) / (0.8 sec)

Average speed = (32/0.8) (meters/sec)

Average speed = 40 m/s .

I don't know. That's just a hair under 90 miles per hour. Is this reasonable for a bowling ball ? Does anybody roll a bowling ball as fast as a major league pitcher pitches a hardball ? ?
