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 only potential energy. as it knocks pins down, its potential energy has decreased, while its kinetic energy has increased. b. 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. c. in the rack and when knocking down pins, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the bowling ball are equal. d. 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.
