Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The horizontal component of velocity of the bowling ball will remain constant as there is no force acting on it in the horizontal direction. The only force acting on it is gravity, which causes it to accelerate vertically downwards. Therefore, its vertical component of velocity will increase while the horizontal component will stay the same.
