https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf Because I know jack crap about any other sports. Don't sue me. en-us 2021-09-24 14:18:28 UTC 2025-12-03 04:26:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3b3.png 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774287803 When it comes to bowling, the first of Newton's three laws rings the most true when you release the ball from your grip. It was at rest, and will remain at rest until you let go. Then at that point, it stays in motion. Until it has to eventually stop.]]> 2021-09-28 11:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774287803 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774304500 As you can see, the guy keeps the ball still, then releases the ball and that ball remains in motion. (Also look at that cool flip. That takes a lot of skill.)]]> 2021-09-28 11:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774304500 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774311152 The second law of Newton's three laws is best when you are throwing the ball. For example, the mass of the ball and the acceleration it gathers after release. If we multiply those numbers, we can get the force that was used to throw the ball. ]]> 2021-09-28 11:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774311152 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774317083 With this next gif, you can see the impact the ball had on the light pins. We don't know what the force was when the bowler released the ball. So we would do F=MA to figure out how much force was used on the ball.]]> 2021-09-28 12:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774317083 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774323219 With Newton's third law, the best I can come up with is how the mass, acceleration and force combine to knock down the pins. The ball hits the pins, then the pins fall. There is an action then a reaction. Just like the law of Reactionary Pairs. ]]> 2021-09-28 12:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774323219 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774331240 You can see in this gif that the ball is striking Pin #1. Because the ball hit the pin, it causes a reaction where the pin gets flung, leading to more pins getting knocked down.]]> 2021-09-28 12:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774331240 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774344738 As you can see in this photo, the bowler is rolling the ball with their arm at an angle. The bowler uses the force of gravity in order to get a good acceleration on the ball. Bowling is all about how you roll the ball. You have to roll the ball with your dominant side using the force of gravity. Then the ball is also facing the force of air resistance while it rolls along the very frictionless surface it rolls on.]]> 2021-09-28 12:12:57 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774344738 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774362223 So this is actually a crucial one when you bowl. We all know that bowling balls are heavy. It is a fact we cannot avoid. But, does the weight effect my game? Most definitely. The lightest ball you can actually use is 6 Pounds. The heaviest is 16 pounds. If we convert it to the metric system, We get weights between 2.72kg and 7.26kg. Those kilos matter when you throw. A 7.26kg ball needs more force to get going. The opposite is true for the 2.72kg ball. ]]> 2021-09-28 12:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774362223 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774381185 So I will just be fast and simple with this. If there is friction in bowling, I have never noticed it before. The ball just rolls on the slick ground. I feel that a bowling ball rolling on a surface with some friction could lead to bad games. In this diagram, you can see how Friction works. Now use this, and picture a bowling ball facing friction. That ball would slow down before it hits the pins. ]]> 2021-09-28 12:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774381185 2022slonecl https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774424023 My honest opinion, the best they can do is weight lifting. Build up their arm muscles through lifting weights. With the building up of their arms, then they can swing the ball more and give it that extra push to make it go faster. Give it that needed speed boost. For example, be like this strong boy here. The man is doing bench presses.]]> 2021-09-28 12:38:24 UTC https://padlet.com/2022slonecl/zh5pijlymz8k7xyf/wish/1774424023
