To make a Bowling ball curve when throwing it down the lane, you can apply spin to the ball by rotating your wrist as you release it. This spin creates a force called the Magnus effect, which causes the ball to curve towards the pins. Adjusting the angle and speed of your throw can also influence the amount of curve.

What will happen to a bowling ball if the bowling lane offers no friction?

If the bowling lane offers no friction, the bowling ball will continue in a straight line from when it was released, with no rotation or curve. It will not slow down or change direction until it hits the pins or another obstacle.


Why is a heavier bowling ball a greater advantage in bowling?

A heavier bowling ball can be a greater advantage in bowling because it has more momentum and energy when it hits the pins, increasing the chances of knocking down more pins with each roll.


How is friction harmful in a nowling alley?

Friction in a bowling alley can be harmful as it can slow down the ball's speed and affect its trajectory, leading to inaccurate throws. Excessive friction can also cause the ball to hook or curve unpredictably, making it difficult for bowlers to control their shots.


A bug sits on the very top of a freshly waxed bowling ball it loses its footing and slides freely down the side of the ball explain why the buy wi?

Centripetal force is provided by weight minus reaction equals centripetal force. It is towards the center of the bowling ball. When the bug is sliding down it will reach a point at which there is no force acting towards the center of the ball and the weight is acting vertically.


Why doesn't the force of a bowling ball always knock down every pin?

The force of a bowling ball is not always enough to knock down every pin because the distribution of force is not evenly spread across all the pins. The angle and speed at which the ball hits the pins, as well as the weight and shape of the ball, all play a role in determining how many pins will be knocked down.

What is a bowling adjustment?

Commonly, a bowling adjustment, is referring to either where a bowler is standing or where a bowling is aiming when throwing the ball. This is done in order to better have the ball hit the "pocket" or for picking up spares. When getting into more advanced bowling techniques, you will find that you will be making adjustments though out each game as the oil on the lane breaks down and your shot changes.


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.

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.
