A bowling ball is harder to get moving and harder to stop than a hollow rubber ball of the same size. The bowling ball is also heavier, that is, it is pulled downward with greater force: but weight is an effect of gravity, while inertia is not. The two seem to go together in some way, and the next section examines this further. It may work!!!

Newton's first law states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In Bowling, this law explains why the ball continues in motion until it encounters friction with the alley or pins. Understanding this law helps bowlers predict the ball's trajectory and adjust their technique to control its speed and direction.

The first law says essentially that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.

The pins will stay in place unless some force (hopefully the kinetic energy of the bowling ball) acts on them.

The bowling ball will stay rolling unless some force (the pins, the end of the lane, friction) acts on it.

First law all objects have a resistance to stop what ever it is doing (inersha) there is one connection

The bowling ball is accelerated by F=ma and the bowling pins are accelerated by f=ma.
