Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of force needed needs to be greater than all the forces acting in the opposite direction that the bowling ball was thrown. This includes air resistance, floor friction, gravity, and any other force involved. As long as the force acting on the bowling ball that is causing it to go in the direction of the pins is slightly greater than the opposite acting forces then it will continue in that direction. Since no values are provided we cannot calculate the actual precise value of force needed.
