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

Answer 1

To increase the acceleration of the bowling ball, the bowler should consider throwing the ball with more force. According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass (a = F/m). Therefore, increasing the force applied to the ball (by throwing it harder) while keeping mass constant will result in greater acceleration.

Choosing a ball with less mass would also increase acceleration; however, it may not be practical for the bowler's purpose.

So, among the options provided, the best response is: The bowler should choose a ball with less mass or throw the ball with more force.
