Final answer:

In this case, the forces acting on the bowling ball are balanced.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the forces acting on the bowling ball are balanced.

When an object is moving at a constant speed, it means that the net force on the object is zero, which indicates that the forces are balanced.

Even though there are several forces acting on the bowling ball, such as gravity and friction, because it is moving at a constant speed, the forces cancel each other out.
