A bowling ball has a mass of 7.2kg 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?

The force that the pin exerts on the bowling ball is -15.0 N. This is because of Newton's 3rd law (every action has an equal but opposite reaction).

Hope this helped :)
