Newton's Law

Newton's Three Laws Of Motion

Newton's First Law:

- A object that is at rest will remain at rest unless it is moved by force.

- A object that is in motion will remain in motion will the same speed and same direction unless acted upon a outside or unbalanced force.

How it relates to Bowling: The pins at the end of the lane are at rest and will remain at rest untill the bowling ball hits them. When that ball hits them the ball acts as a outside force. But the only thing that stops the ball from moving any father it the back wall at the end of the lane.

Newton's Second Law:

- The Acceleration of the object is produced when the force acts on the mass. The greater the mass, the greater of the amount of force is needed.

How it relates to bowling: The greater acceleration of the bowling ball when it hit the pins, the harder that you hit them, the further they will fly apart. But not always. You need just the right amount of acceleration to put foce on the pins to knock them over.

Newton's Thrid Law:

- For every action there is a equal and opposite re-action.

How it relates to bowling: When you pick up the ball you have a good amount of force on it to pick it up and hold it. When you let go of the ball when you make your shot, you have force on the ball and the ball has force against you. The pins have a small force since their not moving and the ball has a greater amount force and acceleration. The ball is able to overcome the resistance of the force of the pins and the pins are able to be knocked down.
