Answer 1

The best description of the forces acting on the stationary bowling ball is Balanced Forces.

In this scenario, the weight of the bowling ball, which is the force due to gravity acting downward, is balanced by the normal force from the ground acting upward. Since these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, they cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of zero.
