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.


What is easier to roll a bolling ball on?

A flat, smooth surface would be ideal for rolling a bowling ball successfully. Usually, wooden floors that were waxed are used in bowling lanes. This gives the bowling ball less friction, thus, giving it more acceleration and less slowing down.


Will slowing down your fax speed give you better quality?

Short answer: no. Slower speeds are helpful only for errors during transmission but not quality.


What are uses of friction?

Friction is used in various applications such as slowing down moving objects (brakes on vehicles), improving grip (shoes on the ground), holding objects together (screws), and in machines to transfer power (transmission systems).


Gradually slowing down?

Gradually slowing down is 'decelerating'.


The term deceleration means?

Deceleration refers to the decrease in speed or slowing down of an object over time. It is the opposite of acceleration, which involves an increase in speed.


What would land first if it was dropped from a plane a bowling ball or a tennis ball?

According to the laws of physics they would fall at the same rate and land at the same time. However, all variables are not the same. The lightness of the tennis ball would leave it more apt to be affected by winds aloft, including updrafts. Additionally, the fuzzy covering of the tennis ball would make it subject to more wind resistance than the bowling ball, thereby slowing it down more. They would still strike the ground very close together, but the bowling ball would be first.If, however, a bowling ball and a baseball were dropped from the plane, they would strike the ground more-or-less simultaneously.


When was Slowing Down the World created?

Slowing Down the World was created on 1999-06-22.


What part of the brain enables us to relax?

The parasympathetic nervous system, which is part of the autonomic nervous system, helps regulate relaxation by slowing heart rate, promoting digestion, and conserving energy. The prefrontal cortex also plays a role in relaxation by helping to regulate emotions and behavior.


Is slowing seaman is harm full?

Yes slowing a seaman could be harmful it depends on how much of a hurry he is in.


Ball rolling down a bowling alley and you'll find it moves slightly slower with time Does this violate Newton's law of inertia?

No it does not violate the law of inertia. This is because while a Bowling Alley is very smooth, it is not exactly frictionless, there is still some friction that acts on the ball, hence slowing it down. Newton said that a body will remain in its state or rest or of motion in a straight line provided there is NO other force acting on the body, but here, we do have a frictional force that acts on it.


Is slowing down a noun?

no it is not
