Question

Describe how Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion applies to knocking
over pins with a bowling ball.

Answer 1

In bowling terms, a ball with greater weight would have more force to knock down pins. In standard bowling you use a big ball to hit down big pins. Candlepin uses smaller balls and pins because it doesn't need much force to knock down the smaller pins.

Answer 2

When the bowling ball is rolled with a force, this accelerates the ball. That acceleration, when combined with the mass of the ball, produces a force that knocks down the pins. That is because you accelerate the ball with a force when you roll it, and the mass of the ball has a force that knocks down the pins.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is given by the familiar equation: →F=m→a . Given a mass of 10kg and an acceleration of 3ms2 , we can calculate the net force on the bowling ball from the above equation. Therefore, 30N of force is required to accelerate the bowling ball down the alleyway at a rate of 3ms2
