data from bowling session

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).
