Why does a bowling ball move without acceleration when it rolls along a bowling alley?
When you answer the question, please also explain WHY, because I don’t just want the answer, I want to learn also =)
1. The bowling ball is a nearly perfect sphere- therefore there is only a VERY LITTLE part of the ball touching the alley at one time… which means there is very little resistance [i.e. the ball will not slow down easily over time]
2. The bowling ball has such a mass that is also harder to decelerate [once the ball picks up speed, it wont lose it easily]
3. The surface of the Bowling alley is waxed wood, providing very little resistance
