If a bowler rolls a bowling ball at a constant speed, would the force increase if he or she changes the weight of the ball? Explain.

Answer:

This is what we call Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bowler is rolling a ball, let's say 5 LBS, It should travel at normal speed.

The speed is also dependent on how the bowler throws the ball.

If they were to change the weight of the ball. It would most likely slow the ball down more, as it would be too heavy to go as fast if it was a lightweight ball.

It's like a person. The bigger and heavier they are, the slower they will move with their own consecutive speed. If they are lighter, they'll most likely go faster
