A bowler throws a ball down the lane toward the pins. The ball reaches the pins and slowly moves through them, knocking down the center pins but leaving the end pins standing. The bowler wants the ball to reach all the pins. Which changes should the bowler make so that the ball has a greater acceleration?(1 point)
Responses
The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force.
The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force.
The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with less force.
The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with less force.
The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with more force.

The correct response is: The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force.
The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force.
To increase the acceleration of the ball and increase the likelihood of knocking down all the pins, the bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force. This is because mass and force are both factors that affect acceleration.
Increasing the mass of the ball will increase the force required to move it, resulting in a greater acceleration. This can be done by selecting a heavier ball to bowl with. Alternatively, the bowler can increase the force applied to the ball by throwing it with more force. Since force and acceleration are directly proportional (according to Newton's second law of motion), throwing the ball with more force will lead to a greater acceleration.
