Liam likes to go bowling. The bowling alley has a camera that measures the speed of balls just before they hit the pins. The table shows the speed of some of Liam's balls. Use the table to answer the question.

Which ball did Liam throw harder, Ball A or Ball D?

• Ball A, because throwing harder makes a ball go slower.

• Ball A, because throwing harder makes a ball go faster.

• Ball D, because throwing harder makes a ball go slower.

• Ball D, because throwing harder makes a ball go faster.

Liam likes to go bowling. The bowling alley has a camera that measures the speed of balls just before they hit the pins. The table shows the speed of some of Liam's balls. Use the table to answer the question.

Predict which ball will knock down the most pins.

• Ball A, because it has the most energy

• Ball B, because it has the least energy

• Ball C, because it has the most energy

• Ball D, because it has the least energy
