stored in the ball until it hits the pins. increased as friction is applied to the ball. converted from kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy. converted to heat and sound when it makes contact with the floor.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: When a bowling ball is released from a bowler's hand, the energy in the ball is partially

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- stored in the ball until it hits the pins.
- increased as friction is applied to the ball.
- converted from kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy.
- converted to heat and sound when it makes contact with the floor.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

converted to heat and sound when it makes contact with the floor.
