Q.2.
1. A 7.26kg bowling ball (16 pounds) is at rest at the end of a bowling lane. Use this
information to answer the following questions.
a. What is the net force acting on the ball?
b. You push the ball with a force of 22.8N which induces a -2.3N frictional
force. What is the net force while you push the ball?
c. What is the acceleration caused by your push on the ball?
d. Following your push the ball rolls down the lane at 4.2m/s. What is the net
force on the ball as it rolls down the lane at the constant speed?
