As a group, describe a force in your own words.
Explain 3 possible effects a force can have on an object.
Using the diagrams below, draw the forces acting on the bowling ball at different parts of the course. [See Below]
How would this ‘activity’ differ if you used the following balls: (a) a racquetball, (b) 16-lb shot put, or (c) a volleyball?
Why did the ball continue to move when it was in the 'No Touch Zone'?
How did motion in the 'No Touch Zone' compare to the motion of the ball on the carpet?
How would BBH differ if we did it in an entire room with a carpet?
How would BBH differ if during the ‘circling the cone’ portion: (a) the speed of the ball increased, (b) the radius of the circle became much smaller or (c) the radius of the circle became much larger?
Shot put = 7.25 kg
Bowling Ball = 7.25 kg
Volleyball = 0.270 kg
Racquetball = 0.040 kg
For each of the different positions shown to the left, diagram the forces acting on the ball. Be sure to include the follow where appropriate:
Fg on ball by Earth
FN on ball by surface
FA on ball by stick
Ff on ball by surface
