Question

A bowling ball applies an action force to a stationary pin when the ball and pin collide. What is the result of this force?

Answer 1

B. The pin pushes the bowling ball toward the left.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The result of the ball is to put the pin in motion. In fact, the pin is initially stationary. As it experiences the force of the colliding ball, the pin accelerates, and its acceleration is given by Newton's second law of motion:

`F=ma`
where F is the force of the bowling ball against the pin, m is the mass of the pin, and a is the pin's acceleration. As a result of this acceleration, the pin starts to move.
