Question

A bowling ball has a mass of 7.2 kg and a weight of 70.6 N. It moves down the A bowling alley at 1 m/s and strikes a pin with a force of 15.0 N. What is the force that the pin exerts on the bowling ball?

A 7.2 N
B 15.0 N
C 70.6 N
D 85.6 N

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given data:

The mass of the bowling ball is

m=7.2kg

The weight is

w=70.6N

The velocity is

v=1m/s

The force is

F=15.0N

The correct option is (b).

According to Newton's third Law, if a body exerts a force on a second body, then the second body will also exert an equal and opposite force on the first body.

Thus, if the bowling ball exerts with force

F=15.0N

on the pin, then the pin also exerts the same force on the bowling ball but in the opposite direction. The answer is b..

Answer 2

Answer:

15.0 N so b
