When a bowling ball collides with a bowling pin what happens to the force?
it knocks the pins down.
What is a bowling ball?
A bowling ball is a ball that is used in the game of bowling, where you roll the ball down an aisle and try to knock down as many pins as you can.
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.
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.
What is an example for friction using bowling balls?
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.
What is a bowling lane?
It is the isle you roll your ball down when bowling
Describe a common situation in which the net force on an object is zero but the object is not at rest?
Bowling ball rolling down the lane.
The energy associated with a bowling ball knocking down bowling pins is?
The bowling ball transfers its kinetic energy (energy of movement) to the stationary bowling pins.
Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first from two rooms high?
If air resistance can be ignored (and it probably can from 2 rooms high) then both the bowling ball and golf ball will hit the floor at the same time. Although the bowling ball is harder to get moving than than the golf ball (it has more mass), the bowling ball also has a greater force pulling it down than the golf ball (as measured by its weight). The result is that both objects have the same acceleration.
Why is a bowling ball bettter for knocking down pins than a ping pong ball?
The bowling ball is better for knocking down pins because it is larger and alson has a larger mass
What are uses of friction?
Friction is when you roll a bowling ball down an bowling alley or when you kick a soccer ball. Hope this helped
Why does the force of gravity do no work on a bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley?
Work is definied in Physics as the Force acting on an object times the distance the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd Since Force is mass times acceleration (F=ma), and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, there is no gravitational acceleration (a), hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.
