Gravity and normal force (floor pushing on the ball) if its already rolling.

If it's being thrown, then gravity, normal force, and the hand throwing it.

it knocks the pins down.


Does rolling soccer ball needs more force to stop than a rolling bowling ball?

Any amount of force can stop either kind of ball. But a greater force is required to stop a bowling ball than to stop a soccer ball IN THE SAME TIME, because the bowling ball has more mass, and therefore more momentum and more kinetic energy.


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.


How come the newtons first law is useful in bowling?

A bowling ball is harder to get moving and harder to stop than a hollow rubber ball of the same size. The bowling ball is also heavier, that is, it is pulled downward with greater force: but weight is an effect of gravity, while inertia is not. The two seem to go together in some way, and the next section examines this further. It may work!!!


How do you control the speed of your bowling ball?

Use more or less force than you usually do, more force, faster ball, less force, slower ball.

Which exerts more gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?

The object with the most mass, as gravitational force is dependent on mass. Therefore the bowling ball exerts more gravitational force than a baseball or a football.

Which of the objects has the most gravitational force a sand grain a marble a bowling ball or tennis ball?

The one with the greatest mass has the greatest inertia. So, it will be the bowling ball.


Which has a greater force a bowling ball or an apple?

An apple because if you put it on someones stomache it will want to move around more than the bowling ball would


Does a bowling ball have more force than a feather?

Well according to the equation Force = Mass x Acceleration. A bowling ball has more mass than a feather but it all depends on how much acceleration each is undergoing. Potentially a feather can have more force (if the bowling ball has an acceleration of zero, then there is no force being produced, and if the feather is accelerating at any speed greater than zero, thentechnicallyit has more force)
