Question
- 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?
e. challenge: how long did you push the ball in this situation?

Question 7a
Step1: Recall Newton's first law
An object at rest has a net force of 0 because \( F_{net} = ma \), and if \( v = 0 \) (at rest) and not accelerating (\( a = 0 \)), then \( F_{net}=m\times0 = 0 \).
Step1: Sum the forces
Net force is the sum of applied force and frictional force. \( F_{net}=F_{applied}+F_{friction} \)
Step2: Substitute values
\( F_{applied} = 22.8\,\text{N} \), \( F_{friction}=- 2.3\,\text{N} \), so \( F_{net}=22.8+( - 2.3)=20.5\,\text{N} \)
Step1: Recall Newton's second law
\( F = ma \), so \( a=\frac{F_{net}}{m} \)
Step2: Substitute values
\( F_{net} = 20.5\,\text{N} \), \( m = 7.26\,\text{kg} \), so \( a=\frac{20.5}{7.26}\approx2.82\,\text{m/s}^2 \)
