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.


What force causes a bowling ball to roll down the hill?

No. Speed and force cause a bowling ball to roll down a lane. Friction may cause a bowling ball to change course on a lane though, and also slow it down.


Why is a bowling ball bettter for knocking down pins than a ping pong ball?

What quality of a bowling ball enables it to plow through a set of pins without slowing down?

The bowling ball does slow down. Momentum is conserved. It's just that it's a heavy ball so it has a lot of momentum, and the pins are light so overall the ball doesn't slow down enough for us to notice.


Why was the bowling ball made?

To knock down the pins.


Ball rolling down a bowling alley and you'll find it moves slightly slower with time Does this violate Newton's law of inertia?

No it does not violate the law of inertia. This is because while a Bowling Alley is very smooth, it is not exactly frictionless, there is still some friction that acts on the ball, hence slowing it down. Newton said that a body will remain in its state or rest or of motion in a straight line provided there is NO other force acting on the body, but here, we do have a frictional force that acts on it.
