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.

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!!!


The inertia of a bowling ball is what the inertia of a basketball?

No, the inertia of a bowling ball is greater than the inertia of a basketball due to the bowling ball's larger mass. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, and a heavier object like the bowling ball requires more force to accelerate or decelerate compared to the basketball.


How much force N is needed to knock over a bowling pin?

It typically takes about 110-130 Newtons of force to knock over a standard 15-inch-tall bowling pin. This force can vary depending on factors such as the weight of the bowling ball and the angle at which it strikes the pin.


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.


What one of newtons laws is this - A bowling ball that's deflected as it strikes the pins?

The scenario of a bowling ball being deflected as it strikes the pins illustrates Newton's Second Law of Motion. This law states that the acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting upon it and its mass (F=ma). When the bowling ball collides with the pins, the force of the impact causes a change in the motion of both the ball and the pins, demonstrating how forces result in acceleration and changes in direction.

If a bowling ball is moving torwards the bowling pin which direction is the net force acting?

The net force would be in the direction of the bowling ball's motion, which in this case would be towards the bowling pin.


How much force is needed to accelerate at 25 kg bowling ball at?

The force required to accelerate a 25 kg bowling ball can be calculated using the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the bowling ball, and a is the acceleration. If the acceleration is given, you can plug in the numbers to find the force needed.


When a bowling ball collides with a bowling pin what happens to the force?

it knocks the pins down.


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.


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.


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.


How is math used in bowling?

calculate the force of the ball and statistics


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

The object with the most gravitational force would be the bowling ball, as it has the greatest mass compared to a sand grain, marble, and tennis ball. Gravitational force increases with mass, so the object with the highest mass will have the strongest gravitational force.


What force act on the ball when it is in the air?

The force that acts on a ball when in the air is gravity.


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 force acts on anWhere would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with different accelerations?

When dropped in a vacuum, a bowling ball and a napkin would fall at the same rate due to the force of gravity acting equally on both objects, regardless of their mass. However, in the presence of air resistance, the napkin would experience greater drag relative to its weight, causing it to fall more slowly than the bowling ball. Consequently, the bowling ball would reach the ground first, highlighting the impact of air resistance on falling objects with differing shapes and masses.


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

A bowling ball has a greater force than an apple due to its larger mass. Force is directly proportional to mass, so the heavier object will exert a greater force when both are accelerated the same way.
