A 16-pound bowling ball strikes a 3.5-pound bowling pin. The pin is moving very fast after the collision. It has a large increase in velocity as a large amount of kinetic energy is transferred to it. Where does the energy come from?(1 point) Responses The bowling pin has stored energy in it which automatically activates to help it move.

The correct response is: The bowling pin gets its energy from the bowling ball hitting it.

In a collision, kinetic energy is transferred from the bowling ball to the bowling pin, resulting in the pin's increase in velocity. The energy comes from the motion of the bowling ball as it strikes the pin.
