The faster the ball is spinning the more momentum any particular particle has when it meets a particle of wax on the floor tangent to the direction of spin. The momentum of each particle is so high that almost all of that particle's velocity is transferred to the wax particle.
I'm not entirely...
I'm going to simplify this situation so I can hopefully better understand what is going on. A bowling ball is given a certain initial rotational velocity and a certain initial linear velocity when thrown down a bowling lane. If everything needed to solve this problem is given, such as radius of...
