The website, Real World Physics Problems (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., has an example of the Physics Of Bowling (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and it describes the physics of a bowling ball that help us understand the factors that influence how a bowling ball curves, and how one can make the best possible shot when striking the pins. Assuming a larger hook to the left (for a right-handed person) increases a chance of a strike, provide your reasoning of the physical parameters that can improve a chance of a strike.

Explanation / Answer

There are two rotating motion of bowling ball i.e. one about horizontal axis and other about vertical axis. The rotation of the ball about vertical axis is responsible for the curved path of the ball. While rotating, the ball drags air and due to which pressure difference is created. This pressure gradient tends to change the path of the ball from straight to curve.
