Lawn Bowling is a sport that involves rolling balls (bowls) along a grass or artificial turf surface towards a target called a jack. The physics involved includes factors such as the initial speed and direction of the bowl, friction between the bowl and the green, and the influence of external factors like wind and slope of the surface. Players must adjust their technique and aim to account for these physics principles in order to accurately deliver the bowl to the desired location.

Physics is related to bowling through principles such as conservation of momentum, friction, and rotation. Understanding these principles can help bowlers adjust their technique to improve accuracy and power. For example, generating more spin on the ball can help increase pin action by transferring more angular momentum during impact.

The net force would be in the direction of the bowling ball's motion, which in this case would be towards the bowling pin.
The acceleration of a bowling ball at rest at the end of the bowling lane is 0 m/s^2. Since the ball is not changing its velocity, it is not experiencing any acceleration.
A bowling ball has more inertia than a beach ball. Inertia is the resistance of an object to change its state of motion, and it is directly related to an object's mass. Since a bowling ball is heavier and has more mass than a beach ball, it has more inertia.
