Bowling Ball Force Formula:

The Bowling Ball Force formula estimates the force exerted by a bowling ball based on its mass and velocity upon impact, adjusted for the collision duration.

Bowling ball force, BBF_(N) in Newtons is calculated by dividing the product of bowling ball mass, BBM_(kg) in kilograms and square of bowling ball velocity, BBV_(m/s)in metres per second by collision duration, CD_(s) in seconds.

Bowling ball force, BBF_(N) = BBM_(kg) * BBV²_(m/s) / CD_(s)

BBF_(N) = bowling ball force in Newtons, N.

BBM_(kg) = bowling ball mass in kilograms, kg.

BBV_(m/s) = bowling ball velocity in metres per seconds, m/s.

CD_(s) = collision duration in seconds, s.

Bowling Ball Force Calculation:

1.Calculate the force of a bowling ball of mass 5 kg traveling at 6 m/s when it strikes the pins, and the collision lasts for 0.05 seconds.

Given: BBM_(kg) = 5kg,  BBV_(m/s) = 6m/s, CD_(s) = 0.05s.

Bowling ball force, BBF_(N) = BBM_(kg) * BBV²_(m/s) / CD_(s)

BBF_(N) = 5 * 6² / 0.05

BBF_(N) = 180 / 0.05

BBF_(N) = 3600N.

2.Suppose we have a bowling ball of mass 5 kg traveling at 10 m/s, and the exerted force upon collision is known to be 2500 N.

Given: BBM_(kg) = 5kg,  BBV_(m/s) = 10m/s, BBF_(N) = 2500N.

Bowling ball force, BBF_(N) = BBM_(kg) * BBV²_(m/s) / CD_(s)

CD_(s) = BBM_(kg) * BBV²_(m/s) / BBF_(N)

CD_(s) = 5 * 10² / 2500

CD_(s) = 0.2s.
