If you are a professional bowler, then yes.
The lowest weight bowling ball used at centers is 6 pounds as there still needs to be a certain amount of weight to work properly in the ball returns
Hold your open hand at shoulder-height, and have your associate carefully place a bowling ball in your hand. Now allow the hand and bowling ball to descend slowly to the floor. Your hand has done 'negative work', equal to the (weight of the ball) times (distance it descended).
Scientific examples of work are- lifting a book, throwing a ball, and pulling a lever.

Yes, work is done when you throw a ball. When you exert force on the ball to throw it, you are transferring energy to the ball, thus doing work on it. This work results in the ball gaining kinetic energy as it moves.
The work done in physics is defined as the force applied to an object times the distance over which that force is applied. When rolling a bowling ball, if it is simply pushed against a tree without moving, no work is done because there is no displacement. In contrast, kicking a football typically involves applying force to the ball and causing it to move, resulting in positive work being done as the distance traveled by the ball is significant. Therefore, kicking a football generally involves more work than pushing a bowling ball against a stationary tree.

John Dalton did not discover the bowling ball model; rather, he is known for his atomic theory developed in the early 19th century, particularly around 1803. The bowling ball model is a metaphor often used to describe the structure of atoms, likening them to solid spheres. This concept was popularized later as part of the development of atomic models. Dalton's work laid the groundwork for understanding atomic structure, but the specific "bowling ball model" is not attributed to him directly.
While one might not think of it, the wrist plays a very important role in how comfortable the grip of the bowling ball feels. When you grip anything the muscles in the wrist work to help. After bowling two or three games in a league or open bowling, and placing your fingers in the bowling ball and gripping it 30-50 times, the wrist can become tired and fatigued. A strong wrist and/or supports/gloves can help the wrist withstand the wear and tear gripping a bowling ball does to it, along with making the bowler feel more comfortable while bowling.

Yes, they work on the same principle. The only factors that need to be changed are the height of release of the ball, the angle of the release, and the speed of the launch.
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.
