Dr. Hewitt's experiment using the bowling ball to showcase the relationship between momentum, energy and speed of a body in motion. In his first attempt, the ball returns and stops almost exactly at the point it was launched.
- In Dr.Hewitt's first trial with the bowling ball, the ball was launched without any additional force applied, hence, the initial energy during the launch was converted to same amount of potential energy on the ball's return. Hence, stopping at the same point where the ball was launched.
- In subsequent trials, when extra force was applied, the ball went past the initial launch position as the potential energy as the ball returned was higher.
Therefore, the ball stopped at the position of initial launch during the first trial.
