How many bowling balls are needed in an bowling alley?
There's no limit built into the bowling lane itself; you could in theory line up a hundred (or more) people, letting each one roll one ball and then leave.
However, most modern automatic scoring systems will only allow you to enter up to six names per lane. And that's is also a good number in terms of time: six people will take on average about an hour to finish one full game.

America invented bowling. The Dutch brought the game of 9 pins to America. The New York legislature outlawed the game of 9 pins. A group of New Yorkers added a 10th pin and called it bowling. That way they were not playing 9 pins.
What is the acceleration of a 6.4 kilogram bowling ball if a force of 12 N is applied to it?
you tell my the answer
42
If you have trouble understanding this, well, you just don't get it, do you?...
How many strikes in bowling is a turkey?
The score is 90.
Explanation:
A turkey is three strikes in a row. The first strike is worth 10 pins plus the next two balls rolled. The second strike is worth another tens pins plus the next two balls rolled. The third strike is worth 10 pins plus the next two balls rolled. In order to count the value, I would need to know the next 1-2 frames pin count. See example below.
1st..2nd..3rd..4th..5th
..X.....X......X.....X.....X
.30...60....90..120..150
In the above scenario the, "turkey" (frames 1, 2, & 3) is worth 90 pins.
1st..2nd..3rd..4th..5th
..X.....X......X....9/.....X
.30...59....79...99....?
In the above scenario, the "turkey" (frames 1, 2, & 3) is worth 79 pins.
Gravity most definatley works on a bowling ball as it goes down the lane. If gravity didn't affect it then the ball would go through the roof of the center. However the ball does not appear to slow down much because there is clear oil on the lane (in varying amounts) which allows the ball to skid across the lane without giving up a lot of speed.
The ball is rolled down the lane with enough force to allow it to gain momentum (a sort of gravity) and the lane is heavily waxed, so there is little resistence to slow it down. The ball will sometimes 'break', or hook to the left or right; this makes the ball go into the 'gutter' if your ball doesn't have enough momentum. If you notice, on the lane before and after the foul line, there are arrows that guide where you stand and where you aim your ball to guide it so that the ball will turn left or right to hit the left or the right of the #1 pin to get a strike.
Work is the force times the distance traveled in the direction of the force (vector multiplication). If the bowling alley is level, then as the ball moves it's distance from the center of the earth does not change. That is, it does not move at all in the direction of the force of gravity. Since the distance moved toward or against the force is zero, the work done is zero.
Force of gravity will not effect the bowling ball because the Normal Force is equal to the Force of gravity. Therefore canceling each other out. The forces on the bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley would be Applied Force and some Force of Friction.
Work (W) is defined in Physics as the Force (f) acting on an object times the distance (d) the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd
Since Force is mass times acceleration, and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, the ball does not move vertically; there is no gravitational acceleration, hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.
What is put on the bowling lane to protect the surface?
The oil/oil pattern that is laid or "dressed" onto the lane surface.
The question is invalid as you can't bowl a 118.124142 average for 3 games or 118.124142 for a 3 game series average.
What is a cute outfit to wear to a bowling party?
For starters, bowling shoes are a must. They're specially designed to permit a controlled slide while delivering the bowling ball - unlike rubber-soled sneakers, which can stop you short, not to mention leaving a dangerous rubber residue on the smooth wooden approach.
In order to release the ball properly, comfortable and loose-fitting clothing helps. Tight jeans would force you to take shorter, less-natural steps, while a tight shirt (or blouse) might stop you from swinging the ball freely.
First answer:
It is ranked number one as an indoor sport

What is the front pin in bowling starting with king?
The one closest to you is the head pin, or 1 pin. The rest of the pins are numbered from left to right on each row: the second row has the 2 and 3, third has 4, 5 and 6, and the fourth row has 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Bowling balls are made from different materials - either plastic, urethane or resin. Depending on which type you have, it may be possible to burn a bowling ball - but you would sure be making one heck of a toxic waste.
What score is recorded when player commits a foul in bowling?
well you do this and that and that constituts a foul in Bowling stepping over the foul line at the lane before you let go
Is it legal to have a bowling ball with no holes?
For a USBC certified event, the ball must meet a set of criteria, which is usually up to a 3 ounce difference in top weight and 1 ounce for thumb, left and right side weight. Drilling holes for fingers and thumbs usually compensates for this when drilled in the standard location. Usually a ball without holes will not meet this requirement and need to have either finger holes or a counterweight hole drilled to bring the ball back to legal specs.
What is the highest handicap game in bowling?
There are three variables that affect a bowler's handicap: 1) Their current average, 2) the handicap basis, and 3) the percent of the difference between their average and the handicap basis that is used for the handicap.
For example, a typical league may calculate handicap as 80% of 200, meaning that a bowler with a 150 average would have a 40-pin handicap (80% of the 50-pin difference between their 150 average and the 200 basis). With a 40-pin handicap, the highest handicap game this bowler could roll would be 340.
Theoretically, you could have a 600 handicap game: A bowler with a 0 average bowling in a league with handicap based on 100% of 300 would get 300 pins of handicap, making a perfect game worth 600 pins. In reality, I don't think I've seen many handicap games over 330.
What you win if you bowl a 900 series?
The ABC has a ring ready for the first bowler to throw 3 sanctioned 300 games in a row. It has not been given out yet.
My response:
As of November 20, 2009, the USBC (ABC is now part of USBC) has awarded 15 sanctioned 900 series (there are six other non-sanctioned) since 1895. The 15th was bowled on 11/20/2009 by Andrew Teall using the Roto Grip Cell bowling ball. The series was bowled at Medford Lanes in New Jersey.
To answer the above question: Only two sanctioned 900 series have been bowled by the same person, 18 years of age from Carthage, NY, Robert Mushtare. He also bowled a third, but it was disallowed by the USBC.
How many strikes does it take to get a perfect score of 300?
12 strikes one for each of the 10 frames and then 2 more strikes to complete the last frame 3 ball minimum 12 strikes
