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)

Answer 1

To increase the acceleration of the bowling ball, the bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with more force. According to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), for a given force, less mass (m) will result in greater acceleration (a).

So, the correct change the bowler should make is:

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