I was standing on the side of a 10-m foot bridge, holding a ball while watching a car approaching the bridge at uniform speed. When the car was 15 meters away from where I was standing, the ball that I was holding slipped in my hand and the car arrived at the bridge when the ball hit the ground. What was the speed of the car? (Assume that the final velocity of the ball is NOT zero)
