Answer:

Force is must to change the velocity of an object. Force is always equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second law of Newton, it states that the force is the product of mass of an object and its acceleration. Here, when the bowling ball is rolling across a flat surface, frictional force acts on it which oppose the motion of the ball and causes deceleration of the ball. This is an example of rolling friction. Acceleration of the bowling ball depends directly to the force of friction and indirectly to its mass.
