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

Answer 1

To increase the acceleration of the ball, the bowler should consider the relationship defined by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration (a) is equal to the net force (F) acting on an object divided by its mass (m): \( a = \frac{F}{m} \).

For the bowler to achieve greater acceleration, they should throw the ball with more force or choose a ball with less mass. Thus, the best option from your provided choices is:

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