Biomechanics bowling
data
Which ball travelled faster?
Ball 1 – 2.39 + 0.49 seconds
Ball 2 – 2.62 + 0.39 seconds
Which ball had the most momentum?
Ball 1 – 194.90 + 29.97 kgmts.sec
Ball 2 – 240.63 + 21.84 kgmts.sec
Did the largest ball always have the largest momentum?
Yes, because the standard deviations of the linear momentum
for the weight of the bowling balls were not overlapping therefore ball 2 (the
heavier ball), had the ligger momentum.
BALL TIMES - There is no significant difference between the
heavier and lighter ball in the time taken for the ball to hit the first pin (t(32)
= -2.771, p> 0.05).
LINEAR MOTION – there
was a significant difference between the linear momentum between ball 1 and
ball 2 (t(32) =-11.871, p< 0.05).
