Which describes the difference between a bowling ball sitting in the rack waiting to be used and the bowling ball knocking pins down?





A

In the rack, the bowling ball has no energy at all. As it knocks down the pins the energy is 75% kinetic and 25% potential.




B

In the rack, the bowling ball has only kinetic energy. As it knocks pins down, its potential energy has increased, while its kinetic energy has decreased.




C

In the rack, the bowling ball has only potential energy. As it knocks pins down, its potential energy has decreased, while its kinetic energy has increased.




D

In the rack and when knocking down pins, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the bowling ball are equal.
