Question

a bowling ball has a mass of 7.2 kg and a weight of 70.6 n. it moves down the 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? 7.2 n 15.0 n 70.6 n 85.6 n

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant physics law

Newton's Third Law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

Step2: Match action and reaction forces

The bowling ball exerts a 15.0 N force (action) on the pin. The pin exerts an equal, opposite force (reaction) on the ball.

Answer:

B. 15.0 N
