A trackball is a pointing input device just like a mouse, but receives input from the user in a slightly different manner. Instead of moving the mouse around on a desk, the user just rolls the ball in the corresponding direction.

A track pad is also a pointing device consisting of specialized surface that can translate the motion and position of a user's fingers to a relative position on screen. Commonly found in laptops, they can also be found in PDAs and portable music players, such as the iPod's click wheel.

A track in bowling is referring to the balls trajectory down the lane. Based on where a bowler aims, the lanes oils conditions, the bowling ball use, their rotation and other factors, the trajectory can be vastly different from game to game. A track can also refer to the oil track on a ball. Some bowlers use this track to determine how the ball is rolling and what part of the ball is actually in contact with the lane.

Difference between mouse and track ball?

They both do the same job. And on an older mouse it's easy to see the similarities. An older computer mouse would have a ball underneath. Then as you moved the mouse around the ball would roll and the computer would count the rotations. A track ball was basically a mouse turned upside down. Instead of moving the mouse to rotate the ball, you'd move the ball directly with your fingers instead.
