There are two ways.
The RIGHT way to do it is completely through gravity. A very good bowler will swing the ball back then relax the arm muscles, allowing gravity to pull the ball down. A less proficient bowler will use arm muscles to try to power the ball down the lane. The first way works better.
The bowling ball transfers its kinetic energy (energy of movement) to the stationary bowling pins.
There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.
After you have released it, it has kinetic energy = 1/2mv2
Solar energy
inside of a bowling ball its not just solid rock (or whatever theyre made of) it actually has differently shaped things inside called reactors which make the ball spin evenly and effectively. when you throw the ball it slides on the oil first, then towards the end of the alley is starts spinning and hooking because of the friction due to less oil. so the energy mostly comes from you, but those are the reasons why it does the things it does once it leaves your fingertips.
First Answer: Yes, there was. Second Answer: Bowling has been around in some form since 5200 BC (the earliest we have artifacts to support). Bowling in the US, in it's current form, tenpin bowling, has been around since sometime after the Civil War. It is derived from Kegelspiel, a German form of ninepin bowling. The first indoor bowling alley was built in 1840, Knickerbockers of New York City.
they are not the same. kinetic energy is energe that an object has due to its motion. potential energy is stored and held in the readiness. for example kinetic energy would be like a bowling ball knocking over bowling pins. unlike kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, potential energy is stored and may be used later on like a car stopping at a red light.
thow the bowling ball as hard as u can
