They both have a constant acceleration of g (9.8 m/s) So they both have equal accelerations. This is according to the law of gravity

Answer:

The acceleration of Jennifer’s bowling ball is equal to the acceleration of Janet’s bowling ball

Explanation:

Sometime around 1590, Galileo conducted a remarkable experiment by dropping two metal balls of equal density with different mass.

He found that gravity acts equally on all objects.

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant and is directed downward, regardless of the initial direction of the object.

So, the acceleration of Jennifer’s bowling ball is equal to the acceleration of Janet’s bowling ball.
