Question

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)

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 more force.
• The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with less force.

Answer 1

The bowler should choose a ball with more mass or throw the ball with more force. By increasing either the mass of the ball or the force with which it is thrown, the ball will have a greater acceleration, allowing it to reach all of the pins with greater speed and impact.
