    The bowling ball is a perfect sphere, therefore, the resistance of the ball with the ground is very small and can be neglected.

    This means that there is no horizontal force (F = zero)

    Based on Newton's laws:

    Force = mass x acceleration

    Since the force is zero, therefore, the acceleration must be equal to zero.
