Yes, if you want to curve the ball before it hits the pins.
Friction is important in bowling because it helps the ball grip the lane and achieve the desired trajectory, spin, and speed. The amount of friction between the ball and the lane surface can impact the overall performance and accuracy of the shot by affecting the ball's hook potential and overall control.
No, static friction is the resistance that prevents an object from moving when it is not in motion. As the ball is already rolling down the hill, it experiences kinetic friction (dynamic friction) between the ball and the surface of the hill.
Friction, (ball against floor), momentum, etc.
Friction between the bowling ball and the lane helps the ball grip the surface, allowing the bowler to have control over the direction and speed of the ball. The amount of friction can be influenced by factors such as the surface texture of the ball and lane, as well as the amount of oil applied to the lane. Properly managing friction is crucial for achieving desired ball movement and accuracy in bowling.
Driving a car down the street is a source of friction. Rolling a bowling ball down the lane is also an example of friction.
action and reaction, the ball moves with force, it stops with friction .
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.
Two come to mind, the ball slows down as it goes further down the alley. as the ball spins, the friction generated causes the ball to curve.
weight, span and pitch must be considered in selecting a bowling ball.
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.
The bowling ball has more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the two balls are moving at the same speed, the greater mass of the bowling ball results in it having more momentum.
In cricket, the main type of friction used is kinetic friction between the ball and the pitch. This friction affects the ball's movement, bounce, and spin when it comes into contact with the pitch. Players also rely on static friction between the ball and the fielder's hands to catch and field the ball effectively.
