Mrs. Foster went bowling. On her first attempt, she did not knock all the pins down. She decided the ball needed more acceleration. What change should she make on her second attempt?

Question

Mrs. Foster should choose a ball with _______, or throw the ball she used in her first attempt with _____.

less force
more mass
less mass
more force

Answer 1

Mrs. Foster should choose a ball with more mass, or throw the ball she used in her first attempt with more force.

Using a heavier ball (more mass) can lead to more force being applied to the pins upon impact, and applying more force when throwing the same ball will also increase its acceleration, helping to knock down more pins.
