Answer:

98N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the bowling ball = 10kg

Mass of the softball = 1kg

Unknown:

Force of gravity on the bowling ball = ?

Solution:

The force of gravity on an object is the same as the weight of the body;

Weight = m x g

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Weight of bowling ball = 10kg x 9.8m/s² = 98N
