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.


What are uses of friction?

Friction is used in various applications such as slowing down moving objects (brakes on vehicles), improving grip (shoes on the ground), holding objects together (screws), and in machines to transfer power (transmission systems).


How does friction apply to bowling?

when a bowling ball(reactive ball) goes down the lane, generally the first 38-41 ft are covered with oil. The other 15 ft, the backend or dry is what the ball "hooks" or Reacts off of. the coverstock of the ball expounds the oil on the ball and the fricition between the ball and lane cause the ball to "hook"


Can friction be important?

when i am ask is friction important i say the answer is yes. friction is important and can help people in many different ways. like cars for a example cars use friction to drive on the road. there is many different types of friction to; dry friction, fluid friction, lubricated friction, skin friction, internal friction, ect..... all of these types of frictions can be different a different way.


Is friction supporting or opposing cricket?

Friction opposes cricket. It creates resistance between the ball and the pitch, affecting how the ball moves when it bounces or rolls on the surface. Players need to account for friction when bowling, batting, or fielding to control the ball effectively.

Is it important static friction on a bowling ball?

Yes, if you want to curve the ball before it hits the pins.


What sports increase friction?

Bowling, curling, and tennis


What are sources of friction?

Driving a car down the street is a source of friction. Rolling a bowling ball down the lane is also an example of friction.


What does physics have to do with bowling?

Friction, (ball against floor), momentum, etc.


Why does a bowling bowl start to move slower with time?

Deceleration, friction, and gravity.


What physics is applied in bowling?

When you are playing bowling you exert energy by swaying your hands as you role the bowling ball to the bowling pin.The physics applied is Kinematics :) ====================== We call it rolling without slipping. Its an extraordinary motion which friction allows us to produce. Normally if we try to roll a circular object without friction it wont roll but it would slip on the surface. But on having friction we have a couple in action which is now able to produce torque. This torque helps the object to move forward.

How does friction and gravity affect your skill when bowling?

Friction and gravity affect your score, but not your skill.'Skill' is your ability to account for the effects of friction and gravity,while you plan the eventual outcome that you want to achieve.


Where would you Increase friction in a bowling alley?

If it was my bowling center, I would increase friction on the three boards closest to the gutter on each side of the lane, and the first five feet of the approach. On the lane, the extra friction will reduce the number of gutter balls - which will make the occasional bowlers happier and encourage them to bowl more. On the approach, the extra friction will let you step off better.

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 will happen to a bowling lane offers no friction?

The balls will slide all the way to the end of the lane and not roll at all.
