There are many more obstacles other than the markers set on the course. Many of these drawbacks actually deals with the fundamental laws of physics. Friction is merely one of the factors that affects the motion of the bowling ball. Friction is the resistance of a moving object interacting with a certain medium with contact. This interaction is just a sliding motion slowing the object down due the texture of an object causing aberrations in speed and velocity. In this case the ground does not affect the motion of the bowling ball that greatly because it’s the material it's surfaced on barely has frictional properties. What this means is that the bowling ball can stay …show more content…
Newton’s first law (the Law of inertia) states that “when an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. What this law actually means is that an object (whether it’s moving or not) will stay at the same speed or direction, even if it’s not moving unless an external force affects it. This applies to Broomball because once you push the bowling ball with the broom it will continue to roll unless it hits a wall or you stop it with force. A big deal comes into play because if it retains its motion the markers will be hit and soon enough the whole course will be into
