Don't Miss the Super Bowl!

     Try tackling this one.

     Betty the bowler never misses the Super Bowl. She loves to fling the ball down the lane and hear the pins smash against each other. Sometimes her ball goes offside, however, and fails to reach its goal. some of the spectators say they like to watch Betty's backfield in motion! Ouch! (Well, I tried. I just seem to have this block today...)

     If Betty's ball travels 15 m with an average velocity of 4 m/s, how much time does it take for the ball to reach the pins after it leaves her hand?
