The energy associated with a bowling ball knocking down bowling pins is?
The bowling ball transfers its kinetic energy (energy of movement) to the stationary bowling pins.
Which device is used for converting potential energy into kinetic energy?
There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.
What must robin do to increase the kinetic energy of the bowling ball?
thow the bowling ball as hard as u can
When does a bowling ball have energy?
After you have released it, it has kinetic energy = 1/2mv2
Why is a bowling ball hard to stop?
It has impressive rotational kinetic energy as well as linear kinetic energy. Example, a 7 kg diameter 0.25 metre diameter bowling ball travelling at 10 metres / second, has a linear KE of 350 joules, and also a rotating KE of 140 joules, both of these have to be arrested upon stopping the bowling ball.
The boncy ball rubber ball and a bowling ball are about to dropped in the height which has more gravitational potential energy?
The most massive one. That's PROBABLY the bowling ball.
When a bowling ball hits the pins at the end of the what energy from the ball is?
Answer=Transferred to the pins.
What is an example of close skills?
striking a stationary ball
Are you allowed to get things engraved in bowling balls?
Yes, you are allowed to get things engraved into a bowling ball. For example, you can get your name, last name or a nickname into the bowling ball. You can't get a picture engraved into a bowling ball because once it is engraved, it stay's that way. When you get a picture in a bowling ball, it takes away the purpose with the bowling ball.
If a bowling ball and ping-pong ball are rolled down the highway at identical speed which ball has the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
The bowling ball because it has more mass
Example of kinetic energy?
Anything that had potential energy then converted to kinetic energy. A good example would a ball. If you are playing bowling and you are swinging the ball backwards and about to through it foward, the ball has potential energy. Once you release it, and while the ball is falling it has kinetic energy. The energy of the changes from potential to kinetic energy. Hope this helps XD
Would you use a bowling ball covered in wool?
No, the wool would absorb some of the energy, making the bowling ball less effective for its purpose.
